Best Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 Right Now

While the cards available at the game's launch won't be the final pieces in your ultimate lineup, they are crucial for early success. Below are some standout Diamond Dynasty cards currently in the game:

Team Affinity James Wood

James Wood, the promising outfielder for the Washington Nationals, is a Team Affinity reward that requires effort to unlock. However, his ability to make solid contact against both left and right-handed pitchers, combined with his power as a corner outfielder, makes him a valuable asset in the middle of your lineup.

Pipeline Program Walker Jenkins

Walker Jenkins, despite being a center fielder, is better suited for a different position due to his bat's strength. With his consistent contact and power, he's a great addition to any lineup, even if his speed is just average.

20th Anniversary Clayton Kershaw

Clayton Kershaw remains one of the most formidable pitchers in *MLB The Show*. Available at the start of *MLB The Show 25* as part of the Anniversary Series, his impressive pitch arsenal, including his iconic 12-6 Curve, makes him a cost-effective choice for budget-conscious players.

Live Series Emmanuel Clase

In *MLB The Show 25*, relief pitching is key, and Emmanuel Clase's card is among the best. His fastball and slider can dominate hitters, making him an ideal closer for your team.
