On the mound, Al Leiter works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph Sinker and a 89 mph Cutter. His pitching ratings include 90 Velocity, 53 Control, and 94 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper from a total of 4 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Al Leiter's arsenal: Slider (S), Sinker (S), Cutter (S), Curveball (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 Cutter off the Slider, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 90 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.
Al Leiter 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. Al Leiter earns an OpScore of 80.8 on Legend difficulty, ranking #929 among all cards and #190 among Starting Pitchers.
