On the mound, Bryan Baker works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 97 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 89 mph Slider. His pitching ratings include 87 Velocity, 61 Control, and 95 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Bryan Baker's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Circle Change (A). 2 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 Slider, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 87 mph 4-Seam Fastball 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.
