There are too many to name, but Chaz Roe’s physics defying slider has always amazed me.

Pedro's circle changeup was unhittable and one of the nastiest the league has seen.

to have a changeup 20mph below your fastball is crazy enough (95-98 fastball, 76-78 changeup), but to throw the circle change that sinks just isnt fair.

I can't post the video, but there are hundreds out there I'm sure. I loved Greg Maddux's two seamer that he started at the hip of a lefty and tailed it back over the inside corner. Basically unhittable.

Also loved Waino's curveball back in the day that would drop like 4 feet at the last second. Randy Johnson's slider, and a Jordan Hicks 100 MPH sinker would also make my list of favorites.

The Mariano Rivera Cutter

Read his autobiography, it almost makes you believe in God like he does. He swears he was almost out of baseball and his fastball overnight got the cutter, some sort of divine intervention he doesn't even try to do ha.

The Ross Grimsley super slow ball when he was in Montreal. Once clocked at 42 mph. He won 20 games for the Expos in the 70's.

I had a few coaches who could throw knuckles. Always crushed the shit out of them. Was disappointed that none of the opposing pitchers I ever faced threw one.
