Jim Kaat — Diamond 88 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Jim Kaat is a Diamond 88 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Twins, part of the Egg Hunt set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.
On the mound, Jim Kaat works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph Sinker and a 88 mph Slider. His pitching ratings include 95 Velocity, 0 Control, and 96 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper from a total of 4 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Jim Kaat's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), Curveball (B), Slurve (B), and Screwball (C). 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 Slider off the Sinker, so the two share a release look. 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, Jim Kaat currently buys for about 3,277 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. Its quick-sell value of 2,750 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Jim Kaat earns an OpScore of 58.5 on Legend difficulty, ranking #2433 among all cards and #506 among Starting Pitchers.
