    In the game of baseball today who has the nastiest stuff? Not talking about best pitchers just filthy pitches that make you go "oh my lordy!" some that come to mind are...
    Mariano Rivera cutter no question best single pitch the games ever seen
    Jake Peavey 96mph heat with movement
    Kerry Wood curveball that is unhittable and the sickest shit I ever saw
    Barry Zito huge Curveball that is unreal!
    Aj burnett curveball or 98mph fastball
    Randy Johnson in his prime with a 100 mph fastball then throw a 90mph slider the very next pitch
    Erick Gagnes breaking ball which is untouchable and high 90s fastball
    chien ming wangs 95 mph sinker
    Johan Santana changeup
    Ben Sheets breaking ball
    francisco Liriano's stuff is straight jack filthy!! 90plus slider that a human being shouldnt be able to throw probly why he effed his elbow up

    anything out there that is dirrrty and makes you knees buckle?

    Now this list is current, active pitchers only:

    Carlos Marmol's slider is the best in baseball
    Mariano Rivera's cutter is the best ever
    Jonathan Braxton's fastball is just nasty 97+ and he can locate it well
    Trevor Hoffman's changeup is the best ever
    Kerry Wood's curveball is really nasty when he's on
    Greg Maddux's pitch that he starts off the outside corner and hits perfectly

    Marmol and Francisco Rodriguez tie for best slider in baseball IMO.

    Rivera has the best cutter, but to say it's the best pitch to ever be thrown in baseball is hilarious.

    Fastball is a tough one b/c I don't think there is any one player that has a Nolan Ryan type fastball.

    Hoffman has the best changeup for sure.

    I'd go with Burnett's curve over Wood's.

    I believe you're talking about Greg Maddux's two seam fastball that starts off the black and comes back over the outside corner.

    Best forkball goes to Jose Contreras.

    Best Splitter goes to Papelbonn, but I could be wrong on this one.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about Webb. Webb has the filthiest sinker with Carmona a close second.
