Shohei Ohtani is a Red Diamond 95 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Dodgers, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. As a two-way card, he can be used as both a hitter and a pitcher in the same lineup. He is also eligible at Right Fielder. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.

On the mound, Shohei Ohtani works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 69 Control, and 82 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Dead Red, Breaking Ball Hitter, and Unfazed from a total of 9 quirks.

Shohei Ohtani is eligible at 2 positions, and DiamondOps scores each one separately: Designated Hitter (91.0) and Right Fielder (86.0) on All-Star. Which slot is best depends on how you play — Designated Hitter on All-Star, Designated Hitter on Hall of Fame, and Right Fielder on Legend. At Designated Hitter the card scores 91.0 on All-Star, 84.2 on Hall of Fame, and 79.0 on Legend — retaining 87% of its All-Star value. Among Starting Pitchers the card ranks #55 on All-Star and #99 on Legend.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Shohei Ohtani's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (S), Sinker (S), and Curveball (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 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, Shohei Ohtani currently buys for about 843,900 stubs, with sell orders near 740,001 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 19,507 stubs, about a 3% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Shohei Ohtani earns an OpScore of 88.9 on Legend difficulty, ranking #558 among all cards and #99 among Starting Pitchers.
