Mo's cutter is considered the scariest in the game. The past couple games he didn't do so hot, but he is generally lights out.
I want to see Dice-K's gyro. I'm interested in seeing how crazy it looks and if anyone can hit it.

I don't know to much about pitches but I do know that King Felix has the absolute nastiest slider you will every see.

I want to see Dice-K's gyro. I'm interested in seeing how crazy it looks and if anyone can hit it. He doesn't throw the gyro. He throws a shuuto. It's a slow 2-seamer that tails the opposite way (away on righties, in on lefties). |

Agreed on Wainwright, I was going to mention him but didn't for some reason.

Fastball: Joel Zumaya
Cutter: Mariano Rivera

Splitter: Tim hudson
Sinker: brandon webb
