Tarik Skubal

Tarik Skubal is a Diamond 91 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Dodgers, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.

On the mound, Tarik Skubal works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 83 Control, and 73 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement. Notable quirks include Stopper and Break Outlier from a total of 4 quirks.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Tarik Skubal's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Circle Change (A), and Knuckle-curve (B). 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, Tarik Skubal currently buys for about 16,001 stubs, with sell orders near 9,025 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 78%.
