Jose Alvarado — Diamond 92 OVR Relief Pitcher Overview
Jose Alvarado is a Diamond 92 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Rays, part of the Vintage set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in May 2026.
On the mound, Jose Alvarado works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 71 Control, and 90 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Outlier I from a total of 3 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Jose Alvarado's arsenal: Sinker (S), Cutter (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Curveball (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 Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, 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, Jose Alvarado currently buys for about 4,684 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. Its quick-sell value of 4,250 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Jose Alvarado earns an OpScore of 88.5 on Legend difficulty, ranking #907 among all cards and #43 among Relief Pitchers.
