Max Scherzer is a Red Diamond 96 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Blue Jays, part of the Milestone set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in June 2026.

On the mound, Max Scherzer works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 90 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 81 Velocity, 90 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement. Notable quirks include Break Outlier from a total of 4 quirks.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Max Scherzer's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Cutter (S), Circle Change (A), and Slurve (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 Slider off the Cutter, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 81 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.

Max Scherzer 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. Max Scherzer earns an OpScore of 88.5 on Legend difficulty, ranking #575 among all cards and #103 among Starting Pitchers.
