Best Pitch in Basball
SO which pitch is the scariest if your a batter
Matsuzaka(sp?) Gyroball
Rivera- Cutter
Hoffman-Changeup
Santana-Chnageup
Liriano-Changeup
Webb- Sinker
or that guys 96mph slider
There are more but what is the most dominating pitch in baseball?

A Santana changeup is devasting.
If Wood was healthy I'd say his breaking pitch, Prior with a fastball.
Peavy slider is up there as well as is Verlander.

It's really not one pitch that makes someone. What makes one pitch so good is the pitch he sets it up with. Santana has a good fastball, but because he varies speed and throws a changeup that breaks like it does, it makes it that much more effective. No one would think it was that good if his fastball sat at 85.
Does Dice-K even throw a gyroball?
Rivera is the only pitcher on this list that has thrown one pitch consistently and been effective.
Even Wakefield mixes in his curveball and 70-something fastball to be effective.

When healthy, Petey's circle change is absolutely unhittable.

There, fixed it.
A knuckleball is scary, not in the sense that you will lose your life if you get hit (like Zumaya's fastball at your head would be), but it just dances and bounces so much that it is so hard to know where it's going and what to do with it as a batter. mahalo
