The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Break Outlier from a total of 4 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Tom Seaver's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), 12-6 Curve (B), and Changeup (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 96 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.
Tom Seaver 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. Tom Seaver earns an OpScore of 80.5 on Legend difficulty, ranking #944 among all cards and #193 among Starting Pitchers.
