Best Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 Right Now
While the initial cards may not be the final pieces in your ultimate lineup, they are certainly valuable at the start of *MLB The Show 25*. Here are some 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 effort to unlock. 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 heart of your lineup.
Pipeline Program Walker Jenkins

20th Anniversary Clayton Kershaw
Clayton Kershaw, a dominant force in *MLB The Show* for over a decade, returns in the Anniversary Series. His solid pitch mix, including his signature 12-6 Curve, makes him a formidable starter. Plus, his affordability on the market makes him a great pick for budget-conscious players.
Live Series Emmanuel Clase
Emmanuel Clase's card is a must-have for relief pitching in *MLB The Show 25* Diamond Dynasty. While his pitch variety isn't the most diverse, his above-average fastball and devastating slider make him an elite closer.
