JR Ritchie — Bronze 66 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
JR Ritchie is a Bronze 66 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Braves, 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, JR Ritchie works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 88 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 81 Velocity, 49 Control, and 56 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in JR Ritchie's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Cutter (S), Curveball (B), and Changeup (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.
On the Diamond Dynasty market, JR Ritchie currently buys for about 50 stubs, with sell orders near 25 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 25%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 18 stubs, about a 69% return. DiamondOps currently rates the card a buy at this price.
