On the mound, Sam Hentges works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 95 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 95 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 98 Velocity, 69 Control, and 85 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Sam Hentges's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), and 12-6 Curve (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. Its 98 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.
On the Diamond Dynasty market, Sam Hentges currently buys for about 31 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the price has held roughly steady. Its quick-sell value of 25 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps currently rates the card a buy at this price.
