Kyle Nicolas — Bronze 67 OVR Relief Pitcher Overview
Kyle Nicolas is a Bronze 67 OVR Relief 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, Kyle Nicolas works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 90 mph Slider. His pitching ratings include 92 Velocity, 62 Control, and 81 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Kyle Nicolas's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Curveball (B). 2 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 Slider, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 92 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, Kyle Nicolas currently buys for about 82 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 165%. Its quick-sell value of 25 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps flags the card as currently overpriced.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Kyle Nicolas earns an OpScore of 55.3 on Legend difficulty, ranking #2256 among all cards and #411 among Relief Pitchers.
