J.R. Richard is a Diamond 90 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Astros, part of the Cityscapes set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in May 2026.

On the mound, J.R. Richard works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 99 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 96 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 60 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in J.R. Richard's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Cutter (S), and Sinker (S). 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 Slider off the Cutter, so the two share a release look. Its 99 mph 4-Seam Fastball 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.

J.R. Richard 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. J.R. Richard earns an OpScore of 78.8 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1004 among all cards and #213 among Starting Pitchers.
