Justin Slaten

Justin Slaten is a Bronze 72 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Red Sox, 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, Justin Slaten works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 97 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 93 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 87 Velocity, 78 Control, and 97 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Justin Slaten's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Cutter (S), Sweeper (S), and Curveball (B). 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 Cutter, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 87 mph 4-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, Justin Slaten currently buys for about 30 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. Justin Slaten earns an OpScore of 62 on Legend difficulty, ranking #2173 among all cards and #291 among Relief Pitchers.
