On the mound, Ian Seymour works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 92 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 90 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 69 Velocity, 88 Control, and 97 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Ian Seymour's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (S), Sinker (S), and Circle Change (A). 4 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 Sinker, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 69 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.
Ian Seymour 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. Ian Seymour earns an OpScore of 85.6 on Legend difficulty, ranking #727 among all cards and #136 among Starting Pitchers.
