Jake Arrieta — Diamond 88 OVR Starting Pitcher Overview
Jake Arrieta is a Diamond 88 OVR Starting Pitcher card for the Cubs, part of the Jolt set in MLB The Show's Diamond Dynasty. He throws right-handed. The card was added to Diamond Dynasty in April 2026.
On the mound, Jake Arrieta works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph Sinker and a 95 mph 4-Seam Fastball. His pitching ratings include 96 Velocity, 74 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Jake Arrieta's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Circle Change (A), and Curveball (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 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.
Jake Arrieta is not currently traded on the open Diamond Dynasty market — cards like this are typically earned through programs or collections rather than bought with stubs.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Jake Arrieta earns an OpScore of 78.6 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1435 among all cards and #302 among Starting Pitchers.
