Best Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 Right Now

While the initial cards may not be the final pieces of your ultimate lineup by the end of *MLB The Show 25*'s cycle, they are certainly valuable at the start. 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, makes 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 impressive that you might consider playing him out of position. With strong contact and power stats, Jenkins can be a key player in your lineup, despite his average speed.

20th Anniversary Clayton Kershaw

Clayton Kershaw's dominance in *MLB The Show* continues with his 20th Anniversary card. This pitcher comes with a formidable arsenal, including his signature 12-6 Curve, and is affordable enough for budget-conscious players to bolster their rotation.

Live Series Emmanuel Clase
