José Suarez — Common 63 OVR Relief Pitcher Overview
José Suarez is a Common 63 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Athletics, 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, José Suarez works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 93 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 92 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 78 Velocity, 55 Control, and 86 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in José Suarez's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (S), Sinker (S), and Circle Change (A). 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 4-Seam Fastball off the Sinker, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 78 mph Sinker 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, José Suarez currently buys for about 41 stubs, with sell orders near 5 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 105%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 30 stubs, about a 500% return. DiamondOps flags the card as currently overpriced.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. José Suarez earns an OpScore of 58.7 on Legend difficulty, ranking #2007 among all cards and #321 among Relief Pitchers.
Live Series cards like José Suarez's are the ones Diamond Radar scores: it reads a player's real MLB production and predicts what the next roster update will do to the card — the predicted rating, the tier jump, and how likely the upgrade is. Ratings only move at a roster update, and not every Live Series card is scored in a given window. Across the season so far, 55% of the cards Radar flags go on to be upgraded, against a 26% background rate across all scored cards — 2.1× better than chance (n=1,061).
