On the mound, Jake Arrieta works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 99 Velocity, 99 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Jake Arrieta's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Circle Change (A), and Slurve (B). 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 Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, 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.
