Max Fried — Diamond 85 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Max Fried is a Diamond 85 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Yankees, 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, Max Fried works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 94 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 92 Velocity, 71 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Break Outlier from a total of 4 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Max Fried's arsenal: Cutter (S), Sinker (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (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 Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 92 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, Max Fried currently buys for about 3,994 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. Its quick-sell value of 3,000 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. Max Fried earns an OpScore of 80.6 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1357 among all cards and #280 among Starting Pitchers.
