On the mound, Alek Manoah works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 93 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 89 Velocity, 0 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 Alek Manoah's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), and Circle Change (A). 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 89 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.
Alek Manoah 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. Alek Manoah earns an OpScore of 59 on Legend difficulty, ranking #1931 among all cards and #415 among Starting Pitchers.
