John Franco

John Franco is a Red Diamond 99 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Mets, part of the Subway set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in September 2026.

On the mound, John Franco works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 93 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 83 Velocity, 90 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in John Franco's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Circle Change (A), and Screwball (C). 3 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 Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 83 mph Sinker 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.

John Franco is not currently traded on the open Diamond Dynasty market — cards like this are typically earned through programs or collections rather than bought with stubs.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. John Franco earns an OpScore of 89.3 on Legend difficulty, ranking #652 among all cards and #27 among Relief Pitchers.
