On the mound, Joe Musgrove works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 93 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 81 Velocity, 90 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Joe Musgrove's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Cutter (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 Cutter off the Slider, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 81 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.
Joe Musgrove 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. Joe Musgrove earns an OpScore of 89.6 on Legend difficulty, ranking #723 among all cards and #28 among Relief Pitchers.
