For me its Tim Lincecum, he has some nasty pitches and is 10-2 this year and looks like a 12 year old kid, but the guy can bring it :] , and love his delivery its diffrent but good .

and also Joba Chamberlain , has 4 pitches and since coming from the Bullpen he has been spectacular i know he will improve. :]

    Those two pitchers do have a bright future ahead of them but there are many more pitchers who are going to have a bright future such as:

    Edison Volquez

    Johnny Cueto

    Nick Blackburn

    Shaun Marcum

    Dustin McGowen

    The list goes on...but these young pitchers have the potential to be superstars.

    Don't forget the bullpen. Joakim Soria of KC has turned the ninth into a power outage, that's how good he has been this year. But in the starting rotation, Edinson Volquez has done exactly that too and he could be one of the major's best for the next 15 years. Back to KC, Zakk Greinke has pitched well this year, and despite having problems of some sort in the last 3 years prior to this year, he's still only 24 and could become one of the AL's best pitchers very quickly. He is armed with a fastball ranging from 94-98 MPH, a low 90's slider, a low to mid 80's changeup and a high 60's curve, not to mention being one of the Royals best HITTERS. Yes, I really mean that.

    My boy Fausto Carmona! 19 wins his first year in the starting rotation? and finished 3rd in the Cy young voting. His trade mark pitch, the 90-92 mph Sinking fastball. 4 seamer hits the mid 90's, with a decent change up and slider (under developed, but will grow).

    Tim Lincecum is downright amazing,

    and i agree totally, And pitching wise Joba is gifted and talented, as a person (and a Yankee) total douche
