Josh Hader

Josh Hader is a Red Diamond 99 OVR Closer card for the Astros, part of the 2026 Finest set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in November 2026.

On the mound, Josh Hader works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 2-Seam Fastball and a 88 mph Circle Change. His pitching ratings include 92 Velocity, 99 Control, and 90 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Josh Hader's arsenal: Slider (S), 2-Seam Fastball (S), and Circle Change (A). 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 2-Seam Fastball off the Slider, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 92 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, Josh Hader currently buys for about 149,900 stubs, with sell orders near 123,336 stubs. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 11,572 stubs, about a 9% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Josh Hader earns an OpScore of 87 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1059 among all cards and #48 among Closers.
