On the mound, Marcus Stroman works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 90 mph Sinker and a 89 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 65 Velocity, 61 Control, and 88 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Marcus Stroman's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), Cutter (S), Splitter (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 65 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.
On the Diamond Dynasty market, Marcus Stroman currently buys for about 6 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has fallen roughly 14%. Its quick-sell value of 5 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps currently rates the card a buy at this price.
