On the mound, Michael Soroka works with a 5-pitch arsenal led by a 94 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 94 mph Sinker. His pitching ratings include 90 Velocity, 74 Control, and 97 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper from a total of 3 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Michael Soroka's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Cutter (S), Circle Change (A), and Slurve (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. 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.
On the Diamond Dynasty market, Michael Soroka currently buys for about 5,045 stubs, with sell orders near 3,504 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 27%. Flipping at current buy and sell prices nets roughly 1,034 stubs, about a 30% return. DiamondOps suggests waiting for a better entry point.
