On the mound, Kodai Senga works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 93 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 92 Velocity, 80 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper from a total of 3 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Kodai Senga's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (S), Cutter (S), Sinker (S), and Forkball (A). 4 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 Sinker, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 92 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.
