MLB The Show 25 Diamond Dynasty Cards Rank: Which Cards Performed Best In April?

MLB 25 has released a lot of cards since its release. Many of the new cards are powerful and surpass the cards that were released when the game was first released. So let’s take a look at which cards performed best in April.

Infielders

Catchers

1. Contributor Mike Napoli (88 OVR)
2. Awards Ted Simmons (90 OVR)
3. Pipeline Samuel Basallo (87 OVR)
4. Negro Leagues Josh Gibson (90 OVR)
5. Breakout Jason Varitek (87 OVR)

Contributor Mike Napoli and Awards Ted Simmons are two collector cards and the best catchers in the game at present. Both cards have 7 Quirks.

Although Mike Napoli’s total score is only 88 points, his Power and Contact attributes are amazing, while Ted Simmons is a little lacking in power.

Negro Leagues Josh Gibson has a 90 OVR, but this card has no Quirks, so it can only be ranked fourth.

First Baseman

1. Hall of Fame Gil Hodges (99 OVR)
2. Last Ride David Ortiz (88 OVR)
3. Cornerstone Tony Clark (87 OVR)
4. Spotlight Tyler Soderstrom (88 OVR)
5. All-Star Anthony Rizzo (88 OVR)

Gil Hodges, with an OVR of 99, is a reward from NL Live Series and cannot be traded on the free market through MLB The Show 25 Stubs. This card has almost all 99 attributes and has 7 Quirks. It will be difficult for other cards to surpass this card for quite some time.

Second Baseman

1. Prime Jason Kipnis (92 OVR)
2. Live Series Ketel Marte (88 OVR)
3. Spotlight Tommy Edman (88 OVR)
4. Pipeline Travis Bazzana (87 OVR)
5. Pipeline Kristian Campbell (87 OVR)

At 92, Jason Kipnis is a bonus for AL Central Collection. He handles pitches from the right side perfectly and has 6 Quirks, which makes this card hard to beat.

Ketel Marte handles pitches from the left side perfectly and has an amazing 11 Quirks! Unlike Jason Kipnis, he can be traded in the free market and is currently valued at around 110,000 stubs.

Third Baseman

1. All-Star Rafael Devers (90 OVR)
2. 2nd Half Chase Headley (93 OVR)
3. Live Series Jose Ramirez (89 OVR)
4. New Thread Alex Bregman (88 OVR)
5. Spotlight Jordan Westburg (88 OVR)

All-Star Rafael Devers is from Chase Pack 3 and was added to the game on March 28. He can hit as a left-hander. And he is not the only left-hander. Chase Headley is also powerful, but his contact attributes on the left side are a bit lacking.

Shortstop

1. Live Series Bobby Witt Jr. (90 OVR)
2. Live Series Francisco Lindor (88 OVR)
3. 2nd Half Heroes Ozzie Smith (89 OVR)
4. 2nd Half Heroes Jimmy Rollins (88 OVR)
5. Spring Breakout Leodalis De Vries (87 OVR)

Bobby Witt Jr. is an all-around player who has great batting, defense, baserunning and stealing. Francisco Lindor is slightly inferior because of his 59 speed.

Outfielders

Left Fielders

1. New Threads Anthony Santander (89 OVR)
2. 2nd Half Heroes Raul Ibanez (89 OVR)
3. Postseason Manny Ramirez (88 OVR)
4. Standout Don Baylor (91 OVR)
5. Contributor Ryan Braun (85 OVR)

The way to get New Threads Anthony Santander is to complete New Threads Collection. He is a switch-hitter and his Power attribute is over 99 for both his left and right hands!

Center Fielders

1. Signature Carlos Beltran (99 OVR)
2. All-Star Ken Griffey Jr. (90 OVR)
3. All-Star Bryan Reynolds (90 OVR)
4. All-Star Mickey Mantle (88 OVR)
5. New Threads Cody Bellinger (88 OVR)

Another 99 OVR card. You need to complete All Live Collection to get this Signature Carlos Beltran. Even though he has two relatively low statistics, it is hard to say that this is a flaw. From the perspective of various statistics, it is almost a perfect card.

Right Fielder

1. Live Series Mike Trout (88 OVR)
2. Live Series Juan Soto (89 OVR)
3. Standout Paul O’Neill (90 OVR)
4. Live Series Ronald Acuna Jr. (87 OVR)
5. All-Star Jose Bautista (88 OVR)

Although his overall rating is a little lower than Juan Soto, Mike Trout is currently the best outfielder. Juan Soto is inferior in speed and fielding.

Pitchers

Starting Pitchers

1. Awards Roger Clemens (99 OVR)
2. 2nd Half Heroes Randy Johnson (91 OVR)
3. Live Series Shohei Ohtani (91 OVR)
4. All-Star Corey Kluber (89 OVR)
5. Rookie Fernando Valenzuela (92 OVR)
6. Pipeline Noah Schultz (87 OVR)
7. Live Series Chris Sale (87 OVR)
8. Standout Bob Gibson (90 OVR)
9. New Threads Corbin Burnes (88 OVR)
10. Topps Now Garrett Crochet (87 OVR)

Roger Clemens 99 OVR card may stay at the top for a long time, but when you see that most of his stats are 99, you will understand that this card is currently the most dominant pitcher in MLB 25.

Although it is difficult to get Awards Roger Clemens, you can choose Randy Johnson, whose attributes are also top-notch and are currently worth around 170,000 stubs.

Relief Pitchers

1. Egg Hunt Lucas Erceg (89 OVR)
2. Standout Darren O’Day (91 OVR)
3. New Threads Aroldis Chapman (88 OVR)
4. Jolt Andrew Miller (85 OVR)
5. All-Star Rob Dibble (87 OVR)
6. Contributor Billy Wagner (85 OVR)
7. New Threads Tanner Scott (86 OVR)
8. All-Star Rich Gossage (87 OVR)
9. Live Series Mason Miller (86 OVR)
10. Live Series Felix Bautista (83 OVR)

Egg Hunt Lucas Erceg is a card added to the game on April 18 and can be obtained through Egg Hunt Diamond Quest. Lucas Erceg’s attributes are all top-tier, and the only limitation is that he only has 25 Stamina, but Stamina is not that important for a relief pitcher.

These are the best cards for each position in April. As more classic players return, this list may change soon.
