DiamondOps grades each pitch in Satchel Paige's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sinker (S), Curveball (B), and Screwball (C). 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 4-Seam Fastball 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.
Satchel Paige 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. Satchel Paige earns an OpScore of 90.1 on Legend difficulty, ranking #498 among all cards and #83 among Starting Pitchers.
