Shohei Ohtani

Shohei Ohtani is a Red Diamond 99 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Dodgers, part of the 2026 All-Star set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. As a two-way card, he can be used as both a hitter and a pitcher in the same lineup. He is also eligible at Right Fielder. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in July 2026.

On the mound, Shohei Ohtani works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 99 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 81 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Dead Red, Fighter, and Break Outlier from a total of 8 quirks.

Shohei Ohtani is eligible at 2 positions, and DiamondOps scores each one separately: Designated Hitter (101.5) and Right Fielder (96.7) on All-Star. The best fit is Designated Hitter rather than the listed Starting Pitcher, and that holds at every difficulty. At Designated Hitter the card scores 101.5 on All-Star, 99.2 on Hall of Fame, and 95.0 on Legend — it keeps 94% of its All-Star value at the top difficulty, which is unusually durable. Among Starting Pitchers the card ranks #26 on All-Star and #60 on Legend.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Shohei Ohtani's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (S), Sinker (S), Splitter (A), and Slurve (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.

On the Diamond Dynasty market, Shohei Ohtani currently buys for about 91,495 stubs, with sell orders near 67,112 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 6%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 15,231 stubs, about a 23% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Shohei Ohtani earns an OpScore of 98.8 on Legend difficulty, ranking #452 among all cards and #60 among Starting Pitchers.
