Favorite pitch in baseball?
-
Clemens splitter late career was pure gold. Had that Clemens intensity to it.
Johan Santana changeup too. Dominant.
But I think Koufax Curve would be the #1 imo
-
Mr. Snappy, Randy Johnson’s 90+ slider.
-
Gagne's volcan change and really slow change up. Seeing him set the record for consecutive saves was amazing.
And Pedro Martinez and that amazing changeup that was at times near impossible to hit.
Plus as a Cub fan i'll never forget the 20k game by Wood. His fastball combined with that slider was lights out.
-
Any pitch that wa[censored] out by Stanton. Those are fun to watch.
-
Kershaw’s Curveball

I don't think the one hit off of Jamie Moyer has landed yet.
-
Mike Mussina had some nasty off speed stuff. But does anybody else remember Brandon Webb?? Omg that dude was untouchable for a few years before he got hurt and couldn’t throw anymore

Ya, Webb had a nasty sinker.. unfortunate end to his short career. Was great for like 6 years

Webb and Peavy were awesome in their prime

The 4seam fastball
I used to play baseball with my next door neighbor, who was braves pitcher and man could he throw heat. Consistently threw high 90s like it was nothing. It’s amazing -

Truth, should have specified when he played for the Marlins.

I'm not a Yankees fan at all but I enjoy watching Tanaka pitch with all his dirty stuff and his deceptive arm action. Shame he never really has a competitive card in this game, I would definitely use a 95ish Tanaka card with 99 break on all his pitches.
-
Barry zito curveball, big looping 12-6, so many huge swings and misses on that one
-
Slide-piece. Helps you out while pitching, and helps you as a batter if it hangs saying: 'HI!'
-
Randy Johnson slider or Roger Clemens fastball
-
Nomo splitter, Wakefield knuckler, Rivera cutter, Clemens fastball.
I also always enjoyed Alex Fernandez and his slider.
-
Maddux’s backup fastball, not sure if it’s really a 2 seamer or a sinker or a combination, but it was a beautiful thing to watch against lefties in particular
