Michael King

Michael King is a Diamond 92 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Padres, part of the Mexico City 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, Michael King works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 94 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 90 Velocity, 68 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Break Outlier from a total of 3 quirks.

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. 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, Michael King currently buys for about 12,500 stubs, with sell orders near 7,088 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 17%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 4,160 stubs, about a 59% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
