Hey, does anyone know off hand what starting pitcher has the biggest difference in MPH between his Fastball & changeup? Looking for a new team to use online. Thanks!

One that immediately sticks to mind in RL is Dallas Braden (Oakland), has some ridiculous differential according fangraphs FB @ 87.6 and CH @ 73... thats freaking crazy.

I'd probably hazard a guess at Feliz, Verlander, Zumaya I think as well? (SU/closer but not SP).

Cole Hamels is known for his changeup, as well as John Danks,
Talking about freaking, Timmy the freak also has a pretty sick changeup/split

Maybe Paulino with the royals, he throws pretty hard.

Pretty much all have an 8-9 klick differential between the two pitches.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful not on MLB 2K12 ATM. I had a quick look at fangraphs instead.

Kinda related... but its interesting how King Felix is one of the best pitchers with one of the best changeups, but he throws it barely like 4 mph less than his fastball. Subtle movement is what matters IMO not necessarily speed.

Wow this is great, thanks! I don't know why Livan Hernandez doesn't have the Euphus pitch. I think it would automatically make him the best pitcher in the game haha. I added it to him, and although his FB only gets up to 85-6, the Euphus goes in at 57!!!

You realize in the day you waited for a reply, you could have checked all the pitchers yourself, several times over.

Generally the FB to CH is 10-12 for most pitchers. Like others have stated maybe try someone with high velocity, like Verlander or Feliz?

IRL I would say Verlander. He can hit 100+ on the gun with a fastball and then get you with a 79 MPH curveball/changeup.

Yeah. I watch every Tigers game as I'm sure you do as well, and while they have him down pretty accurately, his speeds are off somewhat.
