Darren McCaughan is a Bronze 66 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Free Agents, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in July 2026.

On the mound, Darren McCaughan works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 89 mph Sinker and a 89 mph 4-Seam Fastball. His pitching ratings include 59 Velocity, 60 Control, and 71 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Darren McCaughan's arsenal: Sweeper (S), Sinker (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Circle Change (A). 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 Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 59 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, Darren McCaughan currently buys for about 28 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. Its quick-sell value of 25 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. Darren McCaughan earns an OpScore of 52.9 on Legend difficulty, ranking #2490 among all cards and #502 among Starting Pitchers.
