The profile favors a balanced mix of command and movement. Notable quirks include Stopper, Outlier I, and Outlier II from a total of 5 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Jhoan Duran's arsenal: Sinker (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), Sweeper (S), Circle Change (A), and Knuckle-curve (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 Sinker off the 4-Seam Fastball, 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.
Jhoan Duran 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.
