Grant Taylor — Gold 80 OVR Closer Overview
Grant Taylor is a Gold 80 OVR Closer card for the White Sox, 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, Grant Taylor works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 99 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 97 Velocity, 62 Control, and 95 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Grant Taylor's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Cutter (S), and 12-6 Curve (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 Cutter off the Slider, so the two share a release look. Its 97 mph 4-Seam Fastball 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, Grant Taylor currently buys for about 455 stubs, with sell orders near 400 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 161%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 7 stubs, about a 2% return. DiamondOps flags the card as currently overpriced.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Grant Taylor earns an OpScore of 70.2 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1295 among all cards and #70 among Closers.
