5th pitch to complement 4S-fastball, circle change, knuckle curve, & slurve?

I had forkball as the 5th pitch but opponents crushed too many homeruns with it. I'm using screwball right now but it doesn't seem to fake people out for strike outs. Any suggestions of what would be a good final pitch that complements what I'm already using?

1. 4-Seam Fastball
2. Knuckle-Curve
3. Circle Change
4. ?????
5. Slurve

Sinker is always a good pitch to get ground ball outs

I would go sinker/slider/or cutter. Something else that is thrown hard to complement your fastball and offspeed pitches.

Running Fastball or Cutter or Slider.
Also if at all possible I'd change that Slurve to a 12-6 Curve,
esp. if I had a Slider to replace that Forkball.
The Forkball would have probably been more effective if you hadn;t already had that Circle Change.

Agreed with the others. Something firm to give a similar velocity as your 4 seam and complement your other off-speed pitches.

Slurve and Knuckle Curve seems redundant.


So would a circle change and forkball.


Add a cutter. Sliders are pointless in this game unless you have a total wipeout slider.
