⚾ 🥎 What do y'all think? Hardest pitcher to hit?

For a lefty, Johnson's slider. Hard to hit something going 100mph that looks like it’s coming at your head and drops in for a strike.

Maddux. THe way he controls the ball... make you think what's going to happen next.

None of them. When a player changes the rules because of their dominance, that's when it's evident.

You hear of Tiger Woods and other players affecting course design and changes. What you don't hear often is something altering the dimensions as perfect as a baseball diamond. Bob Gibson's 1968 campaign resulted in a lowering of the mound height. This master had a 1.12 ERA over 34 starts, 306 innings, 28 complete games. Five of his complete games were extra innings - 9 2/3, 10, 11, 11 and 12. He pitched a 12-inning complete game. That will keep a bullpen fresh.

All five of these guys are worthy, but Gibson stands alone.

Something about 6'11 coming from that arm slot across the plate concerns me than any of the others.

Greg Maddox could put it in a tea cup.

For a lefty, like myself, I’d say the Johnson slider. 6’11” slinging it across his body looking like it is being released BEHIND you, NO THANKS!!!
