Best Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 Right Now

While the cards available at the game's launch may not be the endgame picks, they are certainly valuable at the start. Here are some standout Diamond Dynasty cards currently in *MLB The Show 25*:

Team Affinity James Wood

James Wood, the promising outfielder for the Washington Nationals, is a Team Affinity reward. Unlocking him requires effort, but his consistent contact against all types of pitching and his power from the corner outfield position make him a valuable asset in the heart of your lineup.

Pipeline Program Walker Jenkins

Walker Jenkins, a center fielder, may not be ideal for the outfield position due to his speed, but his bat is undeniable. With strong contact and power, he's a player you'll want to include in your lineup, even if it means shifting him out of position.

20th Anniversary Clayton Kershaw

Clayton Kershaw, a dominant force in *MLB The Show* for over a decade, returns as part of the Anniversary Series. His arsenal, highlighted by his iconic 12-6 Curve, remains formidable. Budget players can add him to their rotation without breaking the bank.

Live Series Emmanuel Clase

Emmanuel Clase's card is a standout in the relief pitching category of Diamond Dynasty. While his pitch mix isn't the most diverse, his fastball and slider are potent enough to make him an excellent closer.
