On the mound, Clay Holmes works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph Sinker and a 90 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 96 Velocity, 75 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper and Break Outlier from a total of 4 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Clay Holmes's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), Sweeper (S), Cutter (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 Slider off the Cutter, so the two share a release look. Its 96 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, Clay Holmes currently buys for about 4,443 stubs, with sell orders near 2,501 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 15%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 1,495 stubs, about a 60% return. DiamondOps flags the card as currently overpriced.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Clay Holmes earns an OpScore of 91 on Legend difficulty, ranking #853 among all cards and #152 among Starting Pitchers.
