For the May 8th update, do any "big" LS diamonds go down?
-
Oh and Max will go up his Con L attribute is only 25 but so far he is hitting .333 against them. I expect he will get a large boost but probably not diamond.
Boost of 5 or more OVR in a single update is a very rare occurrence.
-
@SavageSteve74_PSN Never heard of K% factoring into contact. Never heard of BABIP factoring into anything. Never heard of ISO factoring in either. I could be wrong. You also have to break it down by side. I’m expecting a significant upgrade in contact v right and clutch. Power looks about even to me. Maybe a slight downgrade. I agree with +1-2.
-
@Dolenz_PSN He’s batting .400 with RISP. Clutch boost.

The only attribute that should matter:
-
This year - .324 vs RHP, .333 vs LHP
2025 - .258 vs RHP, .313 vs LHPSo yeah, probably a bump in contact vs RHP
2026 ISO & HR% - .152 & 3.8% vs RHP, .220 & 3.3% vs LHP
2025 - .144 & 2.7% vs RHP, .240 & 5% vs LHPMaybe a slight bump in power vs LHP but I don’t think it would be much.

I did not look at that. Based on that stat it should be boosted. How much? Who knows.
Really, as usual, am mainly looking forward to see what happens with the Cardinals players.
Jordan Walker is a 67 overall. I know he will probably be one of the biggest upgrades this coming update but it is not like I believe he is going to be bumped all the way to silver.
-
@Dolenz_PSN Oh I think he’ll definitely get silver. He’s going to get big boosts across the board. My expectation is high silver with a shot at 80.
-
I am not sure I have ever seen a double digit OVR boost in a single update before.
But I hope you are right
-
@Dolenz_PSN Several commons got double digit increases in the first roster update last year. Soderstrom is a good example similar to Walker’s situation. He got +10 from 65. Walker has been significantly better than what he did. Okert got +13. So did Shane Smith.
-
@Wilbs715_XBL I wasn’t saying Pages would be diamond. Just saying he’s going up. 84 seems right. Also didn’t say Muncy wasn’t go up. Simply saying there’s zero chance he’s going diamond.
I think he hits 84 tops
I agree, I think both go up.
-
Onix_Savage22_PSN maybe soto stays no way lindor stays 90
-
@GoozeFn_PSN because they love trout. He's still one of the biggest names in the game. He'll go up.
-
Lindor is on IL, I don’t think they’ve ever updated someone while they were on IL.
-
Does Skubal move since he's out for 3 months - or does that not factor in?
-
@GoozeFn_PSN trout should never be drop lower than an 85. He is still one of the elite hitters in the lg. the only thing that holds him back from being higher is being injured all the time affecting his defense and his base running.
-
@Dolenz_PSN Judge went from Common to Diamond in less than half a year and every week people said he wouldn’t even go gold. It’s always possible lol.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS I would argue that he wasn’t an elite hitter from 23-25. He has turned it back up this year, but I just don’t see where the upgrade comes from. Frankly, his stats are already higher than his stats over the last 3 years deserve. I get why they continue to prop him up. I just don’t see how they can justify giving him an upgrade.
-
@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS Aaron judge won a silver slugger and rookie of the year, was voted an all star, and finished 2nd in mvp voting. He is also a Yankees. He also kept his pace basically all year. Doesn’t Walker won’t get it but judge is one of the exception then the rule.
-
Pages 3HR game might get him to diamond now.
-
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this is what SDS uses for attributes:
Contact - BA & K%
Power - ISO & HR%
Vision - BB% & K%So for Pages, his BA is way up, but so is his BABIP (.382 way above league average and way over last years number so people assume he’ll regress to the mean). He may get a bump up in contact but his K% is also up so it won’t be much.
His ISO is flat at .187 and his HR% is actually down.
Walks are up so maybe an uptick to vision but again, his K% is also up.
I think they’ll bump him up 1 possibly 2 but I don’t see him going diamond.
Muncy is intriguing, his BA is waaay up and his BABIP at .316 is slightly above league avg (.295). His BB% and K% are a touch worse than last year but not far off from career avg. His ISO and HR% are up so his power is off to a better start. He’s not going diamond but could be upgraded to a low gold.
Take my analysis with a grain of salt, especially since SDS does wonky things sometimes with upgrades that surprise even the most veteran attribute investors.
Contact is avg vs L, vs R
Power is iso vs L, vs R
Vision is K%
They don't use K rate for contact, hr rate for power or walk rate for vision.
