Connor Thomas

Connor Thomas is a Common 54 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Royals, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in July 2026.

On the mound, Connor Thomas works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 91 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 90 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 67 Velocity, 40 Control, and 56 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Connor Thomas's arsenal: Sinker (S), Cutter (S), Sweeper (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Changeup (B). 4 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 Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 67 mph Sinker 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, Connor Thomas currently buys for about 96 stubs, with sell orders near 5 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 23%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 79 stubs, about a 1317% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Connor Thomas earns an OpScore of 48 on Legend difficulty, ranking #3350 among all cards and #670 among Relief Pitchers.

Live Series cards like Connor Thomas'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.
