On the mound, Brandon Pfaadt works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 93 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 86 Velocity, 58 Control, and 74 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Brandon Pfaadt's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Sweeper (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 4-Seam Fastball off the Sinker, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 86 mph Sinker 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.
