DiamondOps grades each pitch in Cooper Hjerpe's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (S), Cutter (S), and Circle Change (A). 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 Sweeper, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 55 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.
