Zack Wheeler

Zack Wheeler is a Diamond 86 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Phillies, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.

On the mound, Zack Wheeler works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 79 Control, and 85 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement. Notable quirks include Stopper and Break Outlier from a total of 3 quirks.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Zack Wheeler's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Sweeper (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 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, Zack Wheeler currently buys for about 4,399 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 28%. Its quick-sell value of 3,750 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Zack Wheeler earns an OpScore of 88.4 on Legend difficulty, ranking #977 among all cards and #182 among Starting Pitchers.
