Bill Foster — Diamond 89 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Bill Foster is a Diamond 89 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Free Agents, part of the The Negro Leagues set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. As a two-way card, he can be used as both a hitter and a pitcher in the same lineup. He is also eligible at First Baseman, Left Fielder, and Right Fielder. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.
On the mound, Bill Foster works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 92 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 82 Velocity, 76 Control, and 97 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Breaking Ball Hitter from a total of 4 quirks.
Bill Foster is eligible at 4 positions, and DiamondOps scores each one separately: Right Fielder (72.4), Left Fielder (70.4), First Baseman (68.8), and Designated Hitter (66.8) on All-Star. The best fit is Right Fielder rather than the listed Starting Pitcher, and that holds at every difficulty. At Right Fielder the card scores 72.4 on All-Star, 77.1 on Hall of Fame, and 79.4 on Legend — it keeps 110% of its All-Star value at the top difficulty, which is unusually durable. Among Starting Pitchers the card ranks #214 on Legend and #227 on All-Star.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Bill Foster's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), 12-6 Curve (B), and Changeup (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 82 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.
Bill Foster is not currently traded on the open Diamond Dynasty market — cards like this are typically earned through programs or collections rather than bought with stubs.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Bill Foster earns an OpScore of 78.7 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1008 among all cards and #214 among Starting Pitchers.
