On the mound, David Bednar works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 97 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 91 mph Splitter. His pitching ratings include 89 Velocity, 99 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in David Bednar's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Splitter (A), and Curveball (B). The out-pitch is the 4-Seam Fastball. Its strongest tunnel pairing is the 4-Seam Fastball off the Splitter, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 89 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, David Bednar currently buys for about 13,979 stubs, with sell orders near 9,999 stubs. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 2,580 stubs, about a 26% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
