Pitchers           
       
       
       
       
           
       
   


   
       
        Feix Hernandez   
        SEA   
        1986   
        His fastball can reach 97 m.p.h., and he adds a devastating curve and a very strong change-up to his impressive arsenal. Induces plenty of groundballs, since his fastball has a ton of movement and sinking action. Has amazing command and poise.

   

   
       
        Johan Santana   
        NYM   
        1979 
        Has a quality fastball and one of the best change-ups in the big leagues. Gets ahead in the count and works quickly. His command is consistently excellent. Defends his position well and can even hit a little.
   

   
       
        Barry Zito   
        SF   
        1978 
        Owns an intimidating curveball that makes left-handed hitters' knees buckle. Mixes his pitches with aplomb. Is a durable and competitive starter.
   

   
       
        Gio Gonzalez
        OAK   
        1985 
        Has tremendous stuff and the ability to dominate hitters, especially lefty bats. Owns an arsenal of pitches that give batters fits. Can strike plenty of batters out.
   

   
       
        Jason Marquis   
        WAS   
        1978 
        Marquis has a solid fastball and is able to keep the ball in the park by inducing ground balls with his biting slider. He handles hitters equally well from both sides, keeps runners close, and doesn't let that leadoff man do any damage.
   

   
       
        Ian Snell   
        SEA   
        1981 
        In terms of pure stuff, he has the goods to be very successful in the big leagues. Tends to get better deep into his starts. Is fearless on the mound.
   

   
       
        Billy Buckner   
        ARI   
        1983 
        Throws a very good curveball, and most of his pitches have movement. Can both start and relieve, and is resilient enough to be used early and often
   

   
       
        Jaime Garcia
        STL
        1986 
        Has the ability to strike batters out, which makes him effective as both a starter or reliever. Is calm, cool and collected on the hill.

        Trevor Hoffman
        MIL
        1967 
        Still owns one of the best change-ups in the bigs. Hides the ball very well in his wind-up, causing batters to swing late on the fastball and early on the change.
        One of the greatest closers ever.
   

   
       
        Francisco Cordero
        CIN
        1975 
        A live, high-90s fastball is his greatest asset, coupled with a nice slider to keep hitters honest. Is quite durable.
   

   
       
        Jeremy Affeldt
        SF
        1979 
        Throws hard, works well with runners in scoring position and gives left-handed hitters nightmares. Can strike batters out with consistency. Keeps the ball in the park.
   

   
       
        J,P. Howell
        TB
        1983 
        Has good command of a couple of different fastballs, plus a curveball, splitter and change-up. Is a versatile, hard-nosed hurler.
   

   
       
        Luke Gregerson
        SD
        1984 
        Has an ideal pitchers' frame and a live arm. Can strike batters out but is also usually around the plate.
