The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Outlier II from a total of 3 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Aroldis Chapman's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), and Splitter (A). 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. Its 99 mph Sinker adds a velocity bonus on top. Arsenal grades are the same at every difficulty — unlike a hitter's OpScore, a pitch mix does not re-weight as you climb.
