Joseph Contreras — Diamond 85 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Joseph Contreras is a Diamond 85 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Free Agents, part of the World Baseball Classic 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, Joseph Contreras works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 97 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 94 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 90 Velocity, 67 Control, and 90 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Joseph Contreras's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Cutter (S), Forkball (A), and Circle Change (A). 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 4-Seam Fastball off the Sinker, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 90 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.
Joseph Contreras 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. Joseph Contreras earns an OpScore of 74.1 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1580 among all cards and #345 among Starting Pitchers.
