Ricky Vanasco is a Common 64 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Tigers, part of the Live set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in May 2026.

On the mound, Ricky Vanasco works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 94 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 84 Velocity, 37 Control, and 82 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Ricky Vanasco'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 Slider off the Cutter, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 84 mph Cutter 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, Ricky Vanasco currently buys for about 71 stubs, with sell orders near 6 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 13%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 56 stubs, about a 800% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
