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.
