On the mound, Bryan Baker works with a 3-pitch arsenal led by a 98 mph 4-Seam Fastball and a 88 mph Slider. His pitching ratings include 92 Velocity, 76 Control, and 99 Break. The profile favors a movement-heavy arsenal built to miss bats. Notable quirks include Stopper from a total of 3 quirks.
DiamondOps grades each pitch in Bryan Baker's arsenal: Slider (S), 4-Seam Fastball (S), and Circle Change (A). 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 Slider, so the two share a release look. Velocity works against the card here — its 92 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.
Bryan Baker 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. Bryan Baker earns an OpScore of 87 on Legend difficulty, ranking #658 among all cards and #32 among Closers.
