Ben Bowden is a Common 64 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Athletics, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws left-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in August 2026.

On the mound, Ben Bowden works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 92 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 81 mph Slider. His pitching ratings include 65 Velocity, 62 Control, and 86 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Ben Bowden's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Changeup (B), and Curveball (B). 2 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 Slider, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 65 mph 4-Seam Fastball 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.
