Max Fried is a Diamond 93 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Braves, part of the Awards 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, Max Fried works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 94 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 90 Velocity, 98 Control, and 90 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Max Fried's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Circle Change (A), 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 4-Seam Fastball off the Sinker, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 90 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, Max Fried currently buys for about 9,784 stubs, with sell orders near 7,001 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 40%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 1,802 stubs, about a 26% return. DiamondOps flags the card as currently overpriced.
