Ted Radcliffe — Red Diamond 99 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Ted Radcliffe is a Red Diamond 99 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Free Agents, part of the The Negro Leagues 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 Catcher. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in October 2026.
On the mound, Ted Radcliffe 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, 96 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.
Ted Radcliffe is eligible at 2 positions, and DiamondOps scores each one separately: Catcher (96.1) and Designated Hitter (84.0) on All-Star. The best fit is Catcher rather than the listed Starting Pitcher, and that holds at every difficulty. At Catcher the card scores 96.1 on All-Star, 101.3 on Hall of Fame, and 102.6 on Legend — it keeps 107% of its All-Star value at the top difficulty, which is unusually durable. Among Starting Pitchers the card ranks #48 on All-Star and #55 on Hall of Fame.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Ted Radcliffe's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Splitter (A), and Curveball (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 4-Seam Fastball 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, Ted Radcliffe currently buys for about 79,992 stubs, with sell orders near 70,052 stubs. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 1,938 stubs, about a 3% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Ted Radcliffe earns an OpScore of 96.3 on Legend difficulty, ranking #455 among all cards and #54 among Starting Pitchers.
