Jared Grindlinger is a Red Diamond 97 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Angels, part of the 2026 Draft set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. As a two-way card, he can be used as both a hitter and a pitcher in the same lineup. He is also eligible at Left Fielder, Center Fielder, and Right Fielder. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in July 2026.

On the mound, Jared Grindlinger works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph 2-Seam Fastball. His pitching ratings include 87 Velocity, 74 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Dead Red and Situational Hitter from a total of 6 quirks.

Jared Grindlinger is eligible at 4 positions, and DiamondOps scores each one separately: Designated Hitter (83.5), Right Fielder (80.5), Left Fielder (78.4), and Center Fielder (75.7) on All-Star. The best fit is Designated Hitter rather than the listed Starting Pitcher, and that holds at every difficulty. At Designated Hitter the card scores 83.5 on All-Star, 87.4 on Hall of Fame, and 86.8 on Legend — it keeps 104% of its All-Star value at the top difficulty, which is unusually durable. Among Starting Pitchers the card ranks #78 on All-Star and #89 on Legend.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Jared Grindlinger's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (S), 2-Seam Fastball (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 2-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 87 mph 2-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, Jared Grindlinger currently buys for about 12,400 stubs, with sell orders near 9,516 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 15%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 1,642 stubs, about a 17% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Jared Grindlinger earns an OpScore of 89.9 on Legend difficulty, ranking #511 among all cards and #89 among Starting Pitchers.
