95 OVR Red Diamond Card

Cabrera’s newly revealed card is a 95 Overall Red Diamond, serving as a key reward in the first stage of the Legend & Flashback Collection. Here’s what makes it special:

Hitting: Elite contact stats with 113 vs. Right and 104 vs. Left. Clutch sits at 111, making him deadly with runners in scoring position.
Power: Starts at 92 Power Right and 90 Power Left. Using Power Mods can push him close to 100, so don’t sleep on the long ball.
Fielding & Speed: 60 Fielding and 45 Speed make him better suited as a Designated Hitter (DH) than a defensive asset.
Future Potential: Early leaks hint this 95 OVR may be a precursor to a 99 OVR Milestone or Signature Series card later in the season.
