DiamondOps grades each pitch in Matt Strahm's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Cutter (S), and Circle Change (A). 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 4-Seam Fastball off the Sinker, 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.
Matt Strahm 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. Matt Strahm earns an OpScore of 98.5 on Legend difficulty, ranking #160 among all cards and #6 among Relief Pitchers.
