On the mound, Jacob Latz works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 96 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 86 mph Slider. His pitching ratings include 81 Velocity, 79 Control, and 99 Break.

DiamondOps grades each pitch in Jacob Latz's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Circle Change (A), and 12-6 Curve (B). 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 81 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.
