Kevin Gausman — Red Diamond 97 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Kevin Gausman is a Red Diamond 97 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Cubs, part of the New Threads set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in August 2026.
On the mound, Kevin Gausman works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 94 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 90 Velocity, 90 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Kevin Gausman's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), and Splitter (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.
On the Diamond Dynasty market, Kevin Gausman currently buys for about 5,917 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. Its quick-sell value of 5,000 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. Kevin Gausman earns an OpScore of 84.8 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1179 among all cards and #227 among Starting Pitchers.
