In my view and other people may differ, a starting pitcher needs a good fastball, good curve and a slider. A pitcher sent in to pitch a closer, say one batter, a fast ball is best, realizing that facing a good fastball hitter better see some smoke on the fastball!! I realize I am sticking my head out on this one.
