The San Francisco Giants were once the pinnacle of the MLB and baseball during the early 2000s, but these days they're in the process of building a contender. In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:MLB The Show 21 fans can build their fantasy baseball team in a mode called 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Diamond Dynasty.
The mode lets players collect cards and manage a club comprised of modern greats and the MLB's biggest legends. For fans of the Giants, there are more than a handful of incredible players available, but here's a look at the best of the best.
10 ꦗ Juan Marichal, SP (90) 🦄
Juan Marichal, a starting pitcher hailing from the Dominican Republic, is considered one of the greatest San Francisco Giants of all time. All of his ten All🗹-Star appearances, his no-hitter, and the seasons in which he led the NL in wins and the MLB in ERA came in the orange and black.
He was a 4-seam fastball pitcher who used a solid slider to change things up, and his 90 overall card ꦆin Diamond Dynasty comes equipped with both pitches, rated rather highly.
9 ꧅ B🗹randon Crawford, SS (90)
Brandon Crawford is the starting shortstop for the San Francisco Giants, and the only modern player on this list suiting up for the club in the MLB. He's an odd case of a player who throws right but bats left, but that's never hindered him.
Coming off of a 2021 All-Star appearance, this 90 overall card is a reflection of his hard work and is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a great fielding and batting option for those looking to add a solid player that's much more acquirable than some of the higher overall players on this list.
8 Monte Irvin, 🐎LF (91) 🌜
Monte Irvin is a baseball legend who's more known for his feats in the Negro Leagues, but also made a mark as a member of the New York Giants during the early 1950s.
His 91 overall card shows that he was much more of a contact hitter, and despite lacki꧑ng true power at the plate, he finished with 99 home runs for his career. He was a disciplined batter with tremendﷺous plate vision and could deliver for his team in clutch pressure-driven moments.
7 ♔ ⭕ Willie Mays, CF (94)
Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth are probably the only two baseball players more synonymous with the MLB than Willie Mays Jr., and that's a stretch. Known as "The Say Hey Kid", Mays was the epitome of athlete and professional, playing most of his 22-year career as a member of the New York/San Francisco Giants.
He's one of the greatest baseball players of all time, if not the best, so it's a shame that his card in Diamond Dynasty is just a 94. Hopefully 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:MLB The Show 21 adds a 99 overall cardꦯ for May♓s in a future update.
6 🌼 Robb Nen, CP (96) ꧃
The only closing or relieving pitcher to make the Top ten for the San Francisco Giants in Diamond Dynasty is a man by the name of Robb Nen. With 314 saves credited to him for his career, the 96 overa💜ll card in MLB The Show 21 celebrates him joining a 300 club in the MLB.
He played ten years in the league, with his best stretch coming during the back half during his five-year run with the Giants. He's a fastball and slider combination pitcher, and his card allows players to experience it firsthand.
5 🌠 🦩 Steve Finley, CF (96)
Steve Finley had aꦯ long 𓃲and storied career and only played one season as a member of the San Francisco Giants, but boy was that season significant.
At a 96 overall, his card in MLB The Show 21's Diamond Dynasty is as a member of the Giants because it's the season in which he joined the 300/300 club. Finley has over 300 stolen bases and 300 home runs to his name throughout his entire MLB career. This card is great at both of those things, so look to steal early and often with him when he's not sending the ball out of the park.
4 🌞 Pablo Sandoval, 3B (97)
By this point, Pablo Sandoval is considered a San Francisco Giants modern icon for his role in helping the team win three World Series Championships. Heꦐ is known by the nickname "Kung Fu Panda" thanks to both his larger-than-life personality and stockier൲ build.
His 97 overall card brilliantly showcases him when he was just a 24-year-old third baseman. In addition to his abilities against right-handed pitchers, Sandoval is great at getting on base and has an extremely 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:accurate arm when fielding.
3 ꩵ Kevin Gausman, SP (98) ꦓ
Kevin Gausman is a veteran pitcher who's relatively new to the San Francisco Giants, but the 2021 season is arguably his best as a professional. In addition to making the All-Star game for the first time, Gausman has a record, as of writing this, of 9-4.
This 98 overall card is in honor of him making the All-Star game and comes equipped with a great four-seam fastball and a splitter pitch that's also quite effective on the mound. Just don't expect to get much out of his poorly rated curveball.
2 J⛎ason Krizan, 2B (99)
This is arguably one of the weirdest cards in all of MLB The Show 21's Diamond Dynasty mode, as Jason Krizan signed a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants in November of 2020. He's a minor league baseball player who's never had a chance to play in the major league so it's odd he received a 99 overall card.
Joke or not, Krizan's card makes him a stellar hitter and one of the best among 2nd basemen. Against right-handed pitchers, this card has a contact rating of 104 and a power rating of 103.
1 ♒ Christy Mathewson, SP (99) 𒐪
Coming in at the top of the Diamond Dynasty mountain for the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:San Francisco Giants is the professional 🐭Baseball Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson. This 99 overall ca꧃rd in MLB The Show 21 is a reflection of him taking home the pitching Triple Crown in both 1905 and 1908.
Not only is Mathewson one of the oldest baseball players in the mode, but he's also one of the more remarkable MLB players of all time. For his career, Mathewson finished with over 370 wins, 2,500 strikeouts, and an ERA of 2.13.
