In Diamond Dynasty mode, players are rewarded with XP points for completing certain in-game challenges. These XP points as well as stubs can be traded in for other advantages in the game.

Understandably, Shohei Ohtani is one of the highest-rated players in the game. A pitcher-hitter two-way sensation, The Los Angeles Angels star is the first player to ever hit at least 100 RBIs while also striking out 100 or more batters on the mound.

In Diamond Dynasty, players aim to trade in stubs and XP points for players that give their team a better chance of winning. Besides Ohtani, other 99 overall Set 1 Cards include Philadelphia Phillies star Trea Turner as well as cover athlete Jazz Chisholm Jr. of the Miami Marlins.
