Rhett Lowder — Red Diamond 97 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Rhett Lowder is a Red Diamond 97 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Reds, part of the Topps Now set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in September 2026.
On the mound, Rhett Lowder works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 93 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 92 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 81 Velocity, 85 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Rhett Lowder's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), and Circle Change (A). 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 81 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.
Rhett Lowder 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. Rhett Lowder earns an OpScore of 81.4 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1095 among all cards and #217 among Starting Pitchers.
