On the mound, Cade Cavalli works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 85 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper and Outlier I from a total of 5 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Cade Cavalli's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (S), Cutter (S), Sinker (S), and Knuckle-curve (B). 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. Its 99 mph Sinker adds a velocity bonus on top. 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, Cade Cavalli currently buys for about 25,450 stubs, with sell orders near 20,000 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 11%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 2,903 stubs, about a 15% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
