Leroy Matlock is a Diamond 88 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Free Agents, part of the The Negro Leagues set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-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 First Baseman, Left Fielder, Center Fielder, and Right Fielder. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.

On the mound, Leroy Matlock works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 84 mph Slider. His pitching ratings include 71 Velocity, 81 Control, and 89 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement. Notable quirks include Dead Red and Situational Hitter from a total of 5 quirks.

Leroy Matlock is eligible at 5 positions, and DiamondOps scores each one separately: Right Fielder (82.6), First Baseman (81.8), Left Fielder (80.9), Designated Hitter (80.5), and Center Fielder (80.1) on All-Star. Which slot is best depends on how you play — Right Fielder on All-Star, First Baseman on Hall of Fame, and First Baseman on Legend. At Right Fielder the card scores 82.6 on All-Star, 87.3 on Hall of Fame, and 87.8 on Legend — it keeps 106% of its All-Star value at the top difficulty, which is unusually durable. Among Starting Pitchers the card ranks #92 on Hall of Fame and #178 on All-Star.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Leroy Matlock's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Curveball (B), Changeup (B), and Screwball (C). 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 71 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.

Leroy Matlock is not currently traded on the open Diamond Dynasty market — cards like this are typically earned through programs or collections rather than bought with stubs.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Leroy Matlock earns an OpScore of 89.6 on Legend difficulty, ranking #530 among all cards and #95 among Starting Pitchers.
