Jack Ralston

Jack Ralston is a Common 60 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Marlins, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in August 2026.

On the mound, Jack Ralston works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 92 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 90 mph 2-Seam Fastball. His pitching ratings include 66 Velocity, 51 Control, and 56 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Jack Ralston's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), 2-Seam Fastball (S), Curveball (B), and Changeup (B). 2 of them grade S-tier, which is what separates a genuine out-pitch mix from a deep-but-flat arsenal. Its strongest tunnel pairing is the 4-Seam Fastball off the 2-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 66 mph 2-Seam Fastball is slow enough to cost it in the arsenal score. Arsenal grades are the same at every difficulty — unlike a hitter's OpScore, a pitch mix does not re-weight as you climb.

On the Diamond Dynasty market, Jack Ralston currently buys for about 10 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 25%. Its quick-sell value of 5 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps currently rates the card a buy at this price.
