Kyle Backhus — Common 63 OVR Relief Pitcher Overview
Kyle Backhus is a Common 63 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Phillies, 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, Kyle Backhus works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 91 mph Sinker and a 78 mph Sweeper. His pitching ratings include 73 Velocity, 53 Control, and 74 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Kyle Backhus's arsenal: Sinker (S), Sweeper (S), and Circle Change (A). 2 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 Sweeper, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 73 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, Kyle Backhus currently buys for about 20 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 39%. Its quick-sell value of 5 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. Kyle Backhus earns an OpScore of 44.4 on Legend difficulty, ranking #3052 among all cards and #685 among Relief Pitchers.
