DiamondOps grades each pitch in Gaylord Perry's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Forkball (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 83 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.
Gaylord Perry is not currently traded on the open Diamond Dynasty market — cards like this are typically earned through programs or collections rather than bought with stubs.
OpScore is DiamondOps' composite rating of a card's in-game performance value. Gaylord Perry earns an OpScore of 84.1 on Legend difficulty, ranking #796 among all cards and #151 among Starting Pitchers.
