Michael King

Michael King is a Red Diamond 99 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Padres, part of the 2026 Postseason set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in October 2026.

On the mound, Michael King works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 96 Velocity, 80 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Michael King's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), Sweeper (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Circle Change (A). 4 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. Its 96 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.

Michael King 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. Michael King earns an OpScore of 93.5 on Legend difficulty, ranking #551 among all cards and #74 among Starting Pitchers.
