Major Leaguers use Splitter much more than Forkball.. But for Japanese or Korean there are pitchers with hands that are much more smaller than Major League Pitchers. So Forkball's more suitable for them. |

Knuckleball and knuckle curve are hardly used anymore. Wakefield is the only player I know of that uses the knuckler consistantly, and Mussina used to throw a knuckleball, but switched to the knuckle curve a year or two before going to the Yankees. Halladay used the knuckle curve when he came up to the majors, but I don't think he uses it anymore, although he might. |
| Cole Hamels invented the Internet. When Al Gore tried to take credit, Hamels K'd him with a curve...but not before hitting a homerun with his daughter. | |

No, Halladay doesn't use it anymore. He's got a cut-fastball, a sinker ( two seam fastball ), a deadly curve, a forkball and a change up which he only started using this year. HE WON THE CY YOUN AWARD IN 2003 WITHOUT A CHANGE UP! I know Roger Clemens throws a forkball although broadcasters mistaken it for a slider. I've seen Pedro Martinez of all people. throw a screwball, but he rarely does it with the Mets. I haven't seen him pitch much as a Met so I'm not sure, but with Boston...on the rare occasions he threw it, there were usually runners on base. |

Knuckleball--you used to have all people like Candioti and Sparks throw one and now it's just Wakefield. Mantei throws one sometimes and I think Halladay used to as well. |

Forkballs, Screwballs, Knucleballs, 12-6 Curves, and of course, the Spitball. |
