Best Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 Right Now

While the initial cards might not be the final pieces of your ultimate lineup, they are valuable at the start of the game. Here are some of the standout Diamond Dynasty cards available at launch:

Team Affinity James Wood

James Wood, the promising outfielder for the Washington Nationals, is a rewarding Team Affinity card to unlock. Although it requires effort to obtain him, his consistent contact against both left and right-handed pitchers, along with his power suitable for a corner outfielder, makes him a valuable addition to the middle of your lineup.

Pipeline Program Walker Jenkins

Walker Jenkins, despite being a center fielder, shines with his bat rather than his fielding position. His solid contact and power across the board make him worth playing out of position. While his speed isn't exceptional, he's likely to turn hits into extra bases.

20th Anniversary Clayton Kershaw

Clayton Kershaw remains a dominant force in *MLB The Show* and returns as part of the Anniversary Series in *MLB The Show 25*. His pitch arsenal, featuring his signature 12-6 Curve, makes him a formidable starter. Plus, his affordability on the market makes him an attractive option for budget-conscious players.

Live Series Emmanuel Clase

Relief pitching is crucial in *MLB The Show 25* Diamond Dynasty, and Emmanuel Clase's card excels in this role. While his pitch mix isn't the most diverse, his above-average fastball and devastating slider make him an excellent closer.
