DiamondOps grades each pitch in Greg Maddux's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), Cutter (S), Circle Change (A), and Curveball (B). 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. Velocity works against the card here — its 63 mph Sinker is slow enough to cost it in the arsenal score. Arsenal grades are the same at every difficulty — unlike a hitter's OpScore, a pitch mix does not re-weight as you climb.
Greg Maddux is not currently traded on the open Diamond Dynasty market — cards like this are typically earned through programs or collections rather than bought with stubs.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Greg Maddux earns an OpScore of 83.4 on Legend difficulty, ranking #834 among all cards and #162 among Starting Pitchers.
