Best Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 Right Now

While the cards available at the launch of *MLB The Show 25* might not be the ultimate endgame picks, they are certainly valuable in the early stages of the game. Here are some of the standout Diamond Dynasty cards currently available:

Team Affinity James Wood

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

Pipeline Program Walker Jenkins

Although Walker Jenkins is a center fielder, his bat is so powerful that it's worth considering him for a different position. With strong contact and power stats, he's a solid choice despite his average speed, capable of turning hits into extra bases.

20th Anniversary Clayton Kershaw

Clayton Kershaw's dominance in *MLB The Show* continues with his 20th Anniversary Series card. This pitcher, known for his devastating 12-6 Curve, remains a budget-friendly option at the start of *MLB The Show 25*, making him an excellent addition to any rotation.

Live Series Emmanuel Clase

In *MLB The Show 25*, relief pitching plays a crucial role in Diamond Dynasty, and Emmanuel Clase's card is among the best. With a potent fastball and slider, he can effectively close out games, making him an essential part of your bullpen.
