As MLB The Show 26 approaches its March 17 launch, San Diego Studio has unveiled player ratings for Diamond Dynasty, with several Toronto Blue Jays players stirring discussion among fans. Some rankings match expectations, while others have raised questions about how performance, defense, and postseason contributions were weighted.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leads first basemen with an 88 overall rating. While not breaking into the Top Ten overall, Guerrero’s postseason was historic: he batted .397 with an OPS of 1.289, hitting eight home runs and driving in 15 RBIs across 18 games. MLB The Show 26 seems to value defensive ability heavily in determining ratings, which may explain Guerrero’s placement.

Daulton Varsho
Centerfielder Daulton Varsho ranks tenth at 78 overall, despite having more career WAR than several players ahead of him. His strong defensive skills and improved 2025 offense suggest he could be undervalued. Factors like limited games played (71) may have influenced his rating, though his 2.8 bWAR surpassed most of his peers in the same tier.

Alejandro Kirk
Kirk earns an 82 overall rating and fourth place among catchers, reflecting his exceptional combination of offense and defense at a demanding position. His .282/.348/.421 slash line, 15 home runs, and +9 defensive runs saved have cemented his spot among the game’s top 70 players overall.

Kevin Gausman
Starting pitcher Kevin Gausman did not make the Top Ten, despite compiling 193 innings, 189 strikeouts, and a 3.59 ERA in 2025. He finished third in bWAR among the group, demonstrating his durability and consistency, but MLB The Show 26 appears to prioritize other metrics for pitching ratings.

Other Blue Jays Recognized
George Springer and Ernie Clement also earned recognition. Springer is seventh among right fielders (83 overall) and Clement eighth among second basemen (79 overall), acknowledging their strong 2025 campaigns.
