The Great Baseball Skills Competition: Kings of the hill

Welcome to the Great Baseball Skills Competition, a week-long breakdown and ranking of baseball's elite and unique talents. Each day this week, we're taking an aspect of the game and profiling the players who best demonstrate specific skills, such as hitting a fastball, snapping off a nasty breaking ball, dashing around the bases or taking away a home run.

Monday, we focused on those who have the top defensive traits.

Today we shift to who has the best pitching skills, and it's not just about who throws the hardest or has the most effective pitch.
