Max Fried

Max Fried is a Red Diamond 99 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Yankees, 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, Max Fried works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 93 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 89 Velocity, 99 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement. Notable quirks include Break Outlier from a total of 4 quirks.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Max Fried's arsenal: Cutter (S), Sinker (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Circle Change (A), and 12-6 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 Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 89 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, Max Fried currently buys for about 19,299 stubs, with sell orders near 14,810 stubs. Over the past 2 days the buy price has climbed roughly 13%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 2,557 stubs, about a 17% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
