Cole Carlon — Red Diamond 96 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview

On the mound, Cole Carlon works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 88 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 92 Velocity, 73 Control, and 96 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Cole Carlon's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Cutter (S), Sweeper (S), Circle Change (A), and 12-6 Curve (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 4-Seam Fastball off the Cutter, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 92 mph 4-Seam Fastball 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.
On the Diamond Dynasty market, Cole Carlon currently buys for about 5,729 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. Its quick-sell value of 5,000 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Cole Carlon earns an OpScore of 81.6 on Legend difficulty, ranking #912 among all cards and #185 among Starting Pitchers.
