Best pitchers in the game?
-
So far I've gotten Bob Gibson, Bob Feller and a few other great pitchers for my team but I'm wondering what truly are the best ones in the game?
I've heard Pedro's name come up a lot and he looks really good but what are some others and where would they rank so far? -
Roki Sasaki and Yamamoto WBC cards.

yamamoto gets lit up like a christmas tree
dustin may is one of the best in the game and hes free, one of the hardest pitchers to square up.

Darvish's cutter is nasty -- so slow with lots of movement. But the one time I used him he got lit up on fastballs. So I'm going to try him again, but fastballs out of the zone only to set up cutters in the zone. Timing nightmare.
-
Fergie Jenkins, Walter Johnson and the 99 Dontrelle Willis out of the ones that havn't been mentioned yet.
I also want to add Grayson Rodriguez and Vida Blue to my team because both of those cards look amazing.

He still pitches well for me on Half of Fame difficulty. He actually has been my best pitcher overall

As far as cards that are free or under 30K, Nolan Ryan has been my second-best starting pitcher and is maybe the most underrated SP in the game. Speed differential from 102+FB to 76mph Circle Change is really hard to time especially on players that play on All Star. The low control and BB/9 take time getting used to and he isn't on the same level facing people 700+ on ranked but he should be in anyone's rotation on any difficulty.

Last night on my secondary/fun account, I decided to finally give old Nolan some run with his Grizzled Veteran boost on my staff.
He’s pretty fun.
The guy I played wasn’t good, but he wasn’t terrible. He was completely confused by Ryan tho. I went like 8 1/3 perfect innings and then Lindor nubbed one between the mound and first. I took a bad angle with Nolan and he beat it by a step.
Still a 1 hitter though. On my main account, I’ve been using Hoffman as Captain since day 1. But I think I prefer Ryan’s boost.
I can use it on Starting pitchers and closers, and not just RP’s.
So…I’ve got Nolan, the free Starter Diamond Verlander, Alex Cobb who is Charged rn, the Dodgers captain Kershaw, and Cueto…although it’s really hard for me to give up on Live Series Gold McCullers…lol.
Have my eye on Wainright ( either the STL captain or the WBC) and/or Darvish if I feel like dropping the Stubs.
Not too hard to find some Cloesers and RP over 35. Bard (captain or LS), Aroldis Chapman, Ottavino, Kenley Jansen…and I even get a boost to budget beast Aaron Loup.
The other fun boost to try to Kerry Wood. If you load up your staff with enough LS Cubs pitchers, he turns into a BEAST. If I’m going to use him, I make him my captain and those Cubs LS cards sit on the bench and bullpen and watch Kerry deal on the mound.
I was able to P5 this card faster than any other pitcher. Now if I feel like using him, he gets the boost plus the P5 🤯

BTW…with the Grizzled Vet boost from Ryan…That 92 Dodgers captain Kershaw is also a nightmare.
