Daniel Palencia is a Silver 76 OVR Closer card for the Cubs, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.

On the mound, Daniel Palencia works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 99 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 64 Control, and 81 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Outlier I.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Daniel Palencia's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), and Splitter (A). 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. Its 99 mph 4-Seam Fastball adds a velocity bonus on top. 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, Daniel Palencia currently buys for about 86 stubs, with sell orders near 75 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.

OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Daniel Palencia earns an OpScore of 73.8 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1165 among all cards and #61 among Closers.
