The latest Headliners drop features a name familiar to Diamond Dynasty in Cliff Lee. Lee has been a DD mainstay that offers a finesse skillset without overpowering stuff.
Card Highlights:
- Elite Control: Every pitch is pinpointed, with even his 5th best pitch (Knuckle-Curve) sitting at a solid 86 Control.
- BB/9 Rating: A dazzling 105 BB/9 means Lee can paint corners like few others with elite consistency.
- Pitch Mix: Expect a smooth mix that relies on sequencing and location rather than velocity.
- Speed Differentials: Offers enough change in pace to disrupt timing, especially when mixed creatively with conscious sequencing.
Cliff Lee is a true finesse-lord, which can create a skill gap within his cards themselves. If you're used to pounding up-and-in Sinkers at elite velocity with nasty breaking pitches, you'll have to adjust your approach online.
Lee's lack of STUFF means sequencing and pitch selection is paramount, which can be quite the treat for those looking for genuine strategy in pitching.
Pack Details:
- Price: 7,500 Stubs per pack
- Limit: 5 packs per user
- Availability: In the Show Shop now
If you appreciate control artists or just need a different look for your rotation, Cliff Lee fits the archetype of finesse and might be worth a look.
