Ty Johnson

Ty Johnson is a Common 64 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Rays, part of the Live 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, Ty Johnson works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 92 mph 2-Seam Fastball. His pitching ratings include 76 Velocity, 50 Control, and 52 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Ty Johnson's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), 2-Seam Fastball (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 2-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 76 mph 2-Seam Fastball 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.

On the Diamond Dynasty market, Ty Johnson currently buys for about 116 stubs, with sell orders near 7 stubs. Over the past 6 days the buy price has fallen roughly 60%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 95 stubs, about a 1188% return. DiamondOps currently rates the card a buy at this price.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Ty Johnson earns an OpScore of 48 on Legend difficulty, ranking #3029 among all cards and #613 among Starting Pitchers.

Live Series cards like Ty Johnson's are the ones Diamond Radar scores: it reads a player's real MLB production and predicts what the next roster update will do to the card — the predicted rating, the tier jump, and how likely the upgrade is. Ratings only move at a roster update, and not every Live Series card is scored in a given window. Model v11: of the 162 cards it scored 70 or above in its 1 graded update, 72% were upgraded, against 21% by chance: 3.5× better.
