Shane Baz

Shane Baz is a Red Diamond 99 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Orioles, part of the 2026 Finest set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in November 2026.

On the mound, Shane Baz works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 97 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 90 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement. Notable quirks include Stopper and Break Outlier from a total of 4 quirks.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Shane Baz's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Cutter (S), Sinker (S), Circle Change (A), and Knuckle-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 4-Seam Fastball off the Sinker, so the two share a release look. Its 99 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.

Shane Baz 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. Shane Baz earns an OpScore of 105.5 on Legend difficulty, ranking #197 among all cards and #17 among Starting Pitchers.
