Pierce Johnson — Bronze 72 OVR Relief Pitcher Overview
Pierce Johnson is a Bronze 72 OVR Relief Pitcher card for the Reds, 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, Pierce Johnson works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 93 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 80 Velocity, 68 Control, and 85 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Pierce Johnson's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Cutter (S), and Slurve (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 Cutter, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 80 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, Pierce Johnson currently buys for about 49 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 44%. Its quick-sell value of 25 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Pierce Johnson earns an OpScore of 60.2 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1842 among all cards and #283 among Relief Pitchers.
