Joel Kuhnel — Bronze 68 OVR Relief Pitcher Overview
Joel Kuhnel is a Bronze 68 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Brewers, 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, Joel Kuhnel works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 92 mph Slider. His pitching ratings include 75 Velocity, 66 Control, and 67 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Joel Kuhnel's arsenal: Slider (S), Cutter (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Circle Change (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 Slider off the Cutter, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 75 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.
On the Diamond Dynasty market, Joel Kuhnel currently buys for about 31 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 30%. Its quick-sell value of 25 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps currently rates the card a buy at this price.
