Best Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 Right Now

While the cards available at the game's launch may not be the ultimate choices by the end of *MLB The Show 25*'s cycle, they are highly effective in the early stages. Here are some standout Diamond Dynasty cards to consider:

Team Affinity James Wood

James Wood, an emerging talent for the Washington Nationals, is a valuable Team Affinity reward. Unlocking him requires effort, but his ability to make solid contact against both left and right-handed pitchers, combined with his power as a corner outfielder, justifies the grind. He's a perfect fit in the middle of your batting order.

Pipeline Program Walker Jenkins

Although Walker Jenkins is a center fielder, his exceptional hitting stats make him valuable even out of position. His solid contact and power across the board, coupled with decent speed, ensure he can contribute significantly to your lineup.

20th Anniversary Clayton Kershaw

Clayton Kershaw remains a dominant force in *MLB The Show*, returning in the Anniversary Series at the game's start. His pitch arsenal, featuring the iconic 12-6 Curve, makes him a formidable pitcher. Affordable on the market, he's a great addition for budget-conscious players.

Live Series Emmanuel Clase

Emmanuel Clase's card is a top choice for relief pitching in Diamond Dynasty. While his pitch mix isn't the most diverse, his above-average fastball and devastating slider make him an excellent closer who can shut down opposing hitters.
