Cade Cavalli — Gold 81 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Cade Cavalli is a Gold 81 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Nationals, 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, Cade Cavalli works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 97 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 57 Control, and 88 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Cade Cavalli's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Cutter (S), Circle Change (A), and Knuckle-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 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, Cade Cavalli currently buys for about 638 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 245%. Its quick-sell value of 600 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps flags the card as currently overpriced.
