Top Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 for March 2025

Launch cards may not make it to endgame lineups in MLB The Show 25, but they’re still valuable early on. Here’s a look at some of the standout Diamond Dynasty cards available now:

Team Affinity James Wood

Washington Nationals’ rising star James Wood is the Team Affinity reward. Unlocking him takes effort, but his strong contact skills against both left- and right-handed pitchers make it worthwhile. With solid power for a corner outfielder, he’s a reliable fit for the heart of your lineup.

Pipeline Program Walker Jenkins

Walker Jenkins, a center fielder, is better suited outside his natural position due to his bat. His consistent contact and power shine, and while his speed isn’t elite, he can still stretch hits into extra bases on occasion.

20th Anniversary Clayton Kershaw

Clayton Kershaw remains a dominant force in MLB The Show 25 as part of the Anniversary Series. His versatile pitch mix, featuring the iconic 12-6 Curve, makes him a budget-friendly ace for any rotation, perfect for players building a competitive team.

Live Series Emmanuel Clase

Relief pitching is crucial in MLB The Show 25 Diamond Dynasty, and Emmanuel Clase’s card excels. His above-average fastball and lethal slider make him a lockdown closer, ensuring late-game dominance for your bullpen.
