Louis Varland — Diamond 90 OVR Closer Overview
Louis Varland is a Diamond 90 OVR Closer card for the Blue Jays, part of the Spotlight set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in May 2026.
On the mound, Louis Varland works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 99 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 79 Control, and 93 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper and Outlier II from a total of 4 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Louis Varland's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Circle Change (A), and Knuckle-curve (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 Sinker, so the two share a release look. Its 99 mph Sinker adds a velocity bonus on top. Arsenal grades are the same at every difficulty — unlike a hitter's OpScore, a pitch mix does not re-weight as you climb.
