José Buttó — Bronze 73 OVR Relief Pitcher Overview
José Buttó is a Bronze 73 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Free Agents, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.
On the mound, José Buttó works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 97 Velocity, 70 Control, and 95 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in José Buttó's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Sweeper (S), and Circle Change (A). 4 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 Sinker, so the two share a release look. Its 97 mph Sinker adds a velocity bonus on top. 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, José Buttó currently buys for about 27 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. Its quick-sell value of 25 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. José Buttó earns an OpScore of 74 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1230 among all cards and #65 among Relief Pitchers.
Live Series cards like José Buttó's are the ones Diamond Radar scores: it reads a player's real MLB production and predicts what the next roster update will do to the card — the predicted rating, the tier jump, and how likely the upgrade is. Ratings only move at a roster update, and not every Live Series card is scored in a given window. Across the season so far, 55% of the cards Radar flags go on to be upgraded, against a 26% background rate across all scored cards — 2.1× better than chance (n=1,061).
