Craig Kimbrel — Bronze 71 OVR Relief Pitcher Overview

On the mound, Craig Kimbrel works with a 4-pitch arsenal led by a 93 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 88 mph Circle Change. His pitching ratings include 70 Velocity, 52 Control, and 88 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Craig Kimbrel's arsenal: 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (S), Circle Change (A), and Knuckle-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 Sweeper, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 70 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.
On the Diamond Dynasty market, Craig Kimbrel currently buys for about 68 stubs, with sell orders near 0 stubs. Over the past 7 days the buy price has climbed roughly 143%. Its quick-sell value of 25 stubs sits at or above the sell price, making it quick-sell viable. DiamondOps flags the card as currently overpriced.
