On the mound, Steven Cruz works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 94 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 95 Velocity, 70 Control, and 78 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Steven Cruz's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Cutter (S). 3 of them grade S-tier, which is what separates a genuine out-pitch mix from a deep-but-flat arsenal. Its strongest tunnel pairing is the Cutter off the Slider, so the two share a release look. Arsenal grades are the same at every difficulty — unlike a hitter's OpScore, a pitch mix does not re-weight as you climb.
On the Diamond Dynasty market, Steven Cruz currently buys for about 81 stubs, with sell orders near 50 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 84%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 21 stubs, about a 41% return. DiamondOps flags the card as currently overpriced.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Steven Cruz earns an OpScore of 63.5 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1614 among all cards and #204 among Relief Pitchers.
