Connelly Early is a Silver 76 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Nationals, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.

On the mound, Connelly Early works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 93 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 86 Velocity, 39 Control, and 75 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Connelly Early's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Circle Change (A), and Curveball (B). 3 of them grade S-tier, which is what separates a genuine out-pitch mix from a deep-but-flat arsenal. Its strongest tunnel pairing is the 4-Seam Fastball off the Sinker, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 86 mph Sinker is slow enough to cost it in the arsenal score. Arsenal grades are the same at every difficulty — unlike a hitter's OpScore, a pitch mix does not re-weight as you climb.

On the Diamond Dynasty market, Connelly Early currently buys for about 94 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. Its quick-sell value of 75 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Connelly Early earns an OpScore of 55.9 on Legend difficulty, ranking #2206 among all cards and #463 among Starting Pitchers.
