Top Ten MLB Pitchers Right Now

1. Justin Verlander- He’s still the best for sure, he’s not having a year quite like last year but he is still doing amazing and amazing things almost every start and his fastball and curveball are crazy good, and all his numbers support him, especially if you look deeper
2. Felix Hernandez- He seems to be forgotten at times playing on a non-contender but he’s another amazing pitcher, and he is fresh off of a Perfect Game against a good team
3. David Price- Best left-handed pitcher in all of baseball, he’s become very hard to hit this year and is just entering his prime, so getting even higher on the list is no stretch for him, and every time he climbs the mound Tampa seems to win
4. Jered Weaver- He was having a very great season until he fell off a bit lately, but he’s still a great pitcher and an ace who can do big things
5. Matt Cain- He has to be one of the most underrated pitchers of the last decade, but this year he’s having a career year and I’d take him over any NL starter right now in a heartbeat
6. Clayton Kershaw- The defending Cy Young hasn’t been much worse in 2012 and he’s still so young I can see him being elite for 12 years barring a drop off in his pitching
7. Madison Bumgarner- I feel this guy could win the Cy Young next year and I see him being the next Clayton Kershaw but likely even better, but he still is younger and will continue to grow on everybody
8. Stephen Strasburg- He’s leading the Nationals to a division crown at his very young age and he’s been an all-star and that’s just the start of what should be a great career with a long list of accomplishments
9. Chris Sale- I got to see Sale pitch last night and it was a treat he was carving up some of the best batters in the MLB with his amazing stuff and getting out after out, he can even field his position well, he amazed me in pretty much every way to say the least
10. RA Dickey- Has had a bit of a drop-off and his prime won;t be as long as most pitchers but right now, he’s tenth best with his great numbers and even better knuckler
