Top Hurlers Bring All-Star Pitches To Citi Field

The best pitchers in the big leagues will be featured in the 2013 MLB All-Star Game. Tigers starters Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, Braves closer Craig Kimbrel, Giants southpaw Madison Bumgarner and Mariners ace Felix Hernandez have some of the best stuff in baseball. But what are the best pitches on the All-Star roster? These five pitches earn top marks, with honorable mentions to the Mariners' Hisashi Iwakuma's split-finger fastball and the Rangers' Yu Darvish's reverse slider. Despite being selected to the 2013 American League All-Star Team, neither is eligible to pitch on Tuesday; Iwakuma started for Seattle on Sunday and Darvish is out with an upper back strain.
