    For The majority of Diamond Dynasty’s Existence Trout has been the king of live series. Always the highest rated card and performs the best. It’s gonna be a sad day in Mlb The Show 2025 when Mike has low 60’s -high 50’s speed.

    It’s crazy to me thinking how Diamond Dynasty has changed the way I view baseball. Each game I check the box scores to see who is playing well that might be in line for an upgrade or who to sell before they get downgraded. I tend to find the most joy in identifying breakouts and pinpointing who’s gonna be the next superstar.
    Anybody remember Aaron Judge started out as a common card the year he broke out? Or Mookie Betts and Xander Boegarts both turning diamond in the same year? Corey Seager and Bellinger exploding onto the scene as rookies. Lindor, Buehler, Kris Bryant, Freeman these superstar players rose to prominence in front of us. It’s really strange and cool at the same time.

    I remember when Miggy Cabrera was a diamond! Seeing him fall slowly as his production crumbled. Heck I even remember Andrew Mcutchen as a diamond centerfielder. Haha it’s just really eye opening how much of an impact DD has had on me as a fan. P.S. Even Paul Goldy and Votto were diamond’s not too long ago haha.

    Looks to me you need to follow more closely because Mike Trout's plate skills, contact ability, and batted ball profile are absolutely insane and paste skills don't normally erode with physical decline. Zero chance outside of catastrophic injury that he is not still an elite hitter at 33.

    20% o-swing, 61% z-swing with that 40% spread, good lord! That is a selective hitter that knows the strike zone. His 6% swinging strikes is silly for someone with his power. His batted ball profile with consistently high LDs and healthy FB is excellent.

    Speed will fade as it always does but we are looking at a very long productive career into the 30s much like Barry Bonds.

    Unless my reading skills have eroded, OP didn't mention Trout's bat fading away, but only his speed, which you agreed with. He did provide examples of other players who have regressed at the plate, but Trout was never mentioned as someone who he expects to become a worse hitting in the next 4 years.

    My bad I messed up reading his post, i thought it said trout in the 60s with 50 speed.

    My bad.

    Can’t forget about the time Donaldson, cano and king Felix were diamonds. Seems like a lifetime ago.
