Mariano Rivera's cut fastball, arguably the best pitch in baseball today.

Mine has to be Joel Zumaya's fastball (100-104 MPH) and Johan Santana's changeup bottom drop outs. Brandon McCarthy 's curveball.

I think the cutter is the best pitch in baseball. Mike Mussina shows how affective this pitch is on many occasions. This pitch has so much movement it is sometimes unhittable.

well the slider is great... but... it kills a pitchers arm arfer a wile. its even forbiden in the dodgers organization. personaly I think probibaly the cut fast ball mo uses is good. I use a very similer one. most effective when a batter has a hand angle advantage would be my cut screw ball. consitering it literaly moves in 5 different directins before geting to the plat and it lands in the strike zone.

Fork ball, knuckle ball and spitball. Satchel Paige had a pitch that was called the "pea ball" because by the time it reached the plate it was the size of a pea.

The Slider

A good 12-6 curveball is a thing of beauty - especially when you see the batter's knees buckling. I love it.

hands down, it's gotta be the eephus pitch. Nothing like a guy who can throw 90 floating in a 45mph eephus.

Specifically, Jose Contreras' Fork Ball. When he's on. He makes major leaguers look like blind men at a pinata party.
(No offense intened to blind folks. Except the ones who have hit me in the head at pinata parties.)
