Johan Santana's change up in the "best" pitch in the MLB as of right now. It's almost un-hittable with his arm motion.

The best pitch has to be, (when working right) Barry Zito's curve ball, it is without a doubt the best curve in the majors. A close second would be Trevor Hoffmans Change Up, it what they like to call a mickey mouse change.

When Carlos Zambrano is on his game and can throw his fastball and curve ball for strikes, he is as good as anyone. He has somewhat of an awkward delivery that also gives the hitters fits. Of course when a good knuckle ball pitcher, like Wakefield, is on his game no one can deal with it. John Kruk once said he could never hit the knuckle ball, he would just up and swing three times and go take a seat on the bench with everyone else.

The changeup that Cole Hamels throws. He is second in the NL in strikeouts per nine innings.
