Eric Lauer

Eric Lauer is a Common 64 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Free Agents, 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, Eric Lauer works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 92 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 86 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 61 Velocity, 64 Control, and 71 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Eric Lauer's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Cutter (S), Circle Change (A), and 12-6 Curve (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 Cutter off the Slider, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 61 mph 4-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, Eric Lauer currently buys for about 7 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. 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. Eric Lauer earns an OpScore of 58 on Legend difficulty, ranking #2240 among all cards and #365 among Relief Pitchers.

Live Series cards like Eric Lauer'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.
