What pitcher has your favorite/least favorite delivery?

[cubs121]

I know most people wont agree with me. But, here is my short list...

 

Mark Prior

Rich Harden

Tim Lincecum

Kerry Wood (when he was a starter and pitched out of the windup)

Jake Peavy

K-Rod

Dontrelle Willis

Johan Santana

Roy Oswalt

Fransisco Liriano

Edinson Volquez

Joel Zumaya

Nolan Ryan

 

I can go on and on.. but i'll continue it later...

Lincecum is quite intimidating. I happen to like Randy Johnson's slingshot motion but it's not for everyone. Joakim Soria has some Bob Gibson in him and is pretty sweet also.

[Balsa]

Sherril's is pretty interesting.

[sneakypower]

i actually like Marquis' in that he stops in the middle of his motion

 

Zito's is a bit bizarre, and I used to like Carlos Perez the most when he was in the league

my brother and i when we were kids would look at his baseball card and just start cracking up. he makes some goofy as faces and has a funky delivery (from what i can tell in the pictures)

 

the dude had a pretty interesting career too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregg_Olson

 

only hit was a home run, pitched in a combined no-hitter, intentionally walked barry bonds with the bases loaded, threw a no hitter in a state championship game in high school

[BigbadB]

I hate Mike Mussina's delivery. It takes him too damn long to throw the ball.

 

Good call. I forgot to mention him. It's out of the stretch that he does his weird arm hang with the ball in his hand. I think I saw Ian Kennedy emulating that identical delivery.

[Rob]

Fernando Valenzuela is a good one.

[RedFlash]

I also love Shooter Beck delievery.

[Mugged By Fluffy]

Mussina out of the stretch where he crouches down and looks over to first drives me the most nuts. While we're on the Yankees, Rivera and his foot tap makes me cringe, and Pedro Martinez' general mechanics make it obvious why he's on the DL all the time. Willis is another.

 

Fetters was awesome, as was Al Hrabosky. Also like watching the simpleness(yet effective) delivery of Greg Maddux, and the quick slingshot-like throwing of Roy Oswalt.

[Ball And Glove]

Hate:

Bronson Arroyo (sticking the leg straight out)

Doug Davis (painfully slow)

Dave Bush (just annoying in general)

El Duque (high leg kick)

 

Favorites:

K-Rod

Bradford/Kim submarine-style

Johan Santana

Randy Johnson

Pre-Injury Pedro

Hideo Nomo

JIM BULLINGER

Bob Gibson, game 1 of the 1968 WS ... sort of a quality start:

somebody needs to create a least favorite batting stance thread quick because watching the Red Sox game reminded me how much i HATE watching Youkilis hit
