Nolan McLean is a Red Diamond 98 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Mets, part of the Spotlight set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in July 2026.

On the mound, Nolan McLean works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 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 3 quirks.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Nolan McLean's arsenal: Sinker (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (S), Cutter (S), and Circle Change (A). 4 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 Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. Its 99 mph Sinker 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, Nolan McLean currently buys for about 19,829 stubs, with sell orders near 16,115 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 24%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 1,729 stubs, about a 11% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
