DiamondOps grades each pitch in Matt Svanson's arsenal: Sinker (S), Sweeper (S), Cutter (S), and 4-Seam Fastball (S). 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 Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, so the two share a release look. Its 99 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.
