  • EephusRip Sewell's 50 mph lob arced twenty-five feet in the air. Nobody homered off it — until the 1946 All-Star Game, when Sewell warned Ted Williams it was coming, threw it anyway, and Williams took two quick steps up in the box and launched it into the bullpen.One in a Krillion · 100
  • FoshDeep Cut · 85
  • GyroballModelled on a computer by Japanese researchers, then hyped for years as Daisuke Matsuzaka's secret weapon. He may never have actually thrown one.Deep Cut · 85
  • Kick changeInvented by a former minor-leaguer turned coach and spread across the majors in a single winter. The pitcher kicks the ball forward with the middle finger to make a changeup drop like a splitter.Deep Cut · 85
  • PalmballDeep Cut · 85
  • ShuutoA Japanese staple that runs in on a right-handed batter — roughly a two-seamer's mirror image, and a permanent source of argument about whether it is its own pitch at all.Deep Cut · 85
  • Vulcan changeupGripped with the ball wedged between the middle and ring fingers — the Star Trek salute, thrown at 84 miles an hour.Deep Cut · 85

  • ScrewballChristy Mathewson called his the fadeaway and struck out most of the National League with it. It breaks the opposite way to a curve, and wrecks elbows accordingly.Rare · 60
  • SlurveRare · 60
  • SweeperBarely existed as a named pitch before 2022 — then Statcast gave the big-breaking slider its own label and half the league suddenly threw one.Rare · 60
