Matthew Boyd — Bronze 72 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Matthew Boyd is a Bronze 72 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Cubs, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.
On the mound, Matthew Boyd works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 93 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 92 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 76 Velocity, 69 Control, and 96 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper and Break Outlier from a total of 4 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Matthew Boyd's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Circle Change (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. Velocity works against the card here — its 76 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, Matthew Boyd currently buys for about 36 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 16%. Its quick-sell value of 25 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps currently rates the card a buy at this price.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Matthew Boyd earns an OpScore of 68.5 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1763 among all cards and #373 among Starting Pitchers.
