Nolan Ryan is a Red Diamond 96 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Rangers, part of the Standout 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, Nolan Ryan works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 99 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 65 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Outlier I and Break Outlier from a total of 5 quirks.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Nolan Ryan's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), 12-6 Curve (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 4-Seam Fastball off the Sinker, so the two share a release look. Its 99 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, Nolan Ryan currently buys for about 9,048 stubs, with sell orders near 8,200 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 29%. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
