Chris Sale is a Red Diamond 97 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Braves, part of the 2026 All-Star set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in July 2026.

On the mound, Chris Sale works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 97 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 87 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper and Break Outlier from a total of 5 quirks.

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

On the Diamond Dynasty market, Chris Sale currently buys for about 11,307 stubs, with sell orders near 9,104 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 17%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 1,070 stubs, about a 12% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
