I haven't checked Grace, but notice with Diekman, his fastball % exactly matches his "sinker" %:

Which means to me he throws only 2 seamers, and his get sink. Not all do:

Corbin however doesn't have the same % of fastball to sinkers - he clearly also throws fastballs that don't sink, so either he uses some 4 seamers, or he throws the 2-seamer with slightly different grips:

So where is his 4 seamer in OOTP/PT? PT has been around for 2 years, he's thrown fastballs that don't sink about 20% of the time in those 2 years.
