Best Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 Right Now

While the cards available at the game's launch may not be the ultimate choices by the end of *MLB The Show 25*'s life cycle, they're certainly valuable in the early stages. Here 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 rewarding Team Affinity card. Unlocking him requires effort, but his ability to make solid contact against both left and right-handed pitchers, combined with his power as a corner outfielder, justifies the grind. He'll be a strong addition to the middle of your lineup.

Pipeline Program Walker Jenkins

Walker Jenkins, although a center fielder, is best utilized elsewhere due to his exceptional batting skills. With solid contact and power, Jenkins can be a game-changer, even if his speed is modest. He’s worth placing out of position for his hitting prowess.

20th Anniversary Clayton Kershaw

Clayton Kershaw, a dominant force in *MLB The Show* for over a decade, returns in *MLB The Show 25* as part of the Anniversary Series. With a formidable pitch arsenal, including his renowned 12-6 Curve, Kershaw is a must-have for any lineup. His affordability on the market makes him accessible for budget-conscious players.

Live Series Emmanuel Clase

Emmanuel Clase is a top-tier relief pitcher in *MLB The Show 25* Diamond Dynasty. While his pitch mix isn't the most diverse, his above-average fastball and devastating slider make him an elite closer. He's the perfect choice to lock down games.
