Toughest pitcher ever faced was about 6'3" and lefty. threw 3/4. everything was on a long arc. just away, away, arc.
Hitters that always talked said Smoltz had best pitches, Maddog's pitches never stopped moving. But, most feared pitcher, was Tommy Glavine. That circle change
Testament to having a perfect delivery and throwing motion. Every pitch looked same. Cut that fastball in or out, then throw an 88 mph slider or 80 mph changeup. Thats why hes in Hall.
My interpretation of hitters saying that Gibson was intimidating is the fact that they thought their life was on the line every time they stepped up to the plate. I don't think Glavine ever inspired that kind of fear.
