Michael Walsh

Michael Walsh is a Common 55 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Pirates, part of the Live 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 Walsh works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 92 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 91 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 75 Velocity, 49 Control, and 64 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Michael Walsh's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), and Changeup (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. Velocity works against the card here — its 75 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.

Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 181 stubs, about a 2586% return. DiamondOps currently rates the card a buy at this price.
