Ranked Seasons 5 World Series Choice Pack Rewards Breakdown
Diamond Dynasty is all about the MLB All-Star Week festivities, and that extends to the Ranked 5 World Series Choice Pack.
There's a much easier choice to make this time around, thanks to fate. Cody Bellinger received his 2026 MLB All-Star Series card in this Ranked Choice Pack. However, after winning the 2026 MLB All-Star Game MVP Award, he received a 99 OVR card at the end of the 2026 All-Star Series Collection.
I'd say Jhoan Duran was already the best card in the pack, but now he seems like a clear pick outside of flipping this Bellinger for Stubs, which is certainly going to be a pliable strategy for many. In terms of the better card? Easy choice.
Duran is absolutely disgusting, with elite velocity and break on all of his pitches. The attributes are 100+ in the key areas, with 125 Clutch being what any high-leverage bullpen arm wants.
The speed differential between hard/soft pitches might present some challenges at times, but Duran is usually reliable enough to overwhelm most hitters.
I won't spend much time on this Bellinger. It's not the sexiest 98 OVR card to begin with, but the 99 OVR All-Star Game MVP version is just so much better that this card feels irrelevant outside of being more obtainable for most players.

Multiplayer Program 5 Breakdown
The players featured in this month's Multiplayer Program are:
- Paul Skenes, SP PIT (98 OVR 2026 All-Star)
- CJ Abrams, SS WSH (97 OVR 2026 All-Star)
- Shea Langeliers, C ATH (97 OVR 2026 All-Star)
- Travis Bazzana, 2B CLE (96 OVR 2026 All-Star)
- Andy Pages, CF LAD (96 OVR 2026 All-Star)
This is a fun collection of names to earn in the program. Skenes notably doesn't have an Outlier 4-Seamer on this card, but instead possesses an Outlier Sinker. He's still nasty and should get some innings for you in online play.
I'll highlight Shea Langeliers here. The Catcher position is always looking for new options, and this is a really fun mix of power, arm, and speed.
Langeliers has 84 Speed, which is absurd for a catcher, which absolutely matters at the upper levels of online play. Not clogging the bases with slow runners won't win as a priority, but certainly provides value in the margins. Shea is also going to gun down more would-be-base-stealers than most Catchers. He'll absolutely annihilate lefty pitchers and hold us own against righties.
The common theme of these reviews is reminding you that the Parallel Mod system can turn this card into whatever version of Langeliers you want - and will essentially evolve into a 99 OVR as you do.
