Kerry Wood

Kerry Wood is a Diamond 87 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Cubs, part of the 2nd Half Heroes 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, Kerry Wood works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 85 mph Slider. His pitching ratings include 85 Velocity, 0 Control, and 97 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Kerry Wood's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Slurve (B), 12-6 Curve (B), and Changeup (B). 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 4-Seam Fastball off the Slider, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 85 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.

Kerry Wood 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. Kerry Wood earns an OpScore of 55.3 on Legend difficulty, ranking #2726 among all cards and #544 among Starting Pitchers.
