Best Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 Right Now

While the cards available at the launch of *MLB The Show 25* may not be the final pieces in your ultimate lineup, they are certainly valuable in the early stages of the game. Here are some standout Diamond Dynasty cards to consider:

Team Affinity James Wood

James Wood, the promising outfielder for the Washington Nationals, is a Team Affinity reward that requires some 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.

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 arsenal, including his signature 12-6 Curve, makes him a formidable starter. Plus, his affordability on the market makes him accessible to budget-conscious players.

Live Series Emmanuel Clase

Emmanuel Clase's card is a must-have for your bullpen in *MLB The Show 25*. His above-average fastball and devastating slider make him an elite closer, capable of shutting down any lineup.
