Johan Santana — Red Diamond 99 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Johan Santana is a Red Diamond 99 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Mets, part of the Milestone 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, Johan Santana works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 93 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 85 Velocity, 92 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement. Notable quirks include Break Outlier from a total of 4 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Johan Santana's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Cutter (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 85 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.
On the Diamond Dynasty market, Johan Santana currently buys for about 60,123 stubs, with sell orders near 44,000 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 35%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 10,108 stubs, about a 23% return. DiamondOps currently rates the card a buy at this price.
