In fact the best pitcher in baseball today is considered to be Johan Santana and he couldn't even hold a candle to either Koufax or Gibson. I am from Minnesota and Santana is nothing but a two-pitch pitcher, a changeup and a fastball. He can't throw a curveball and when he attempts to throw a slider, its much less than mediocre at best; whereas, Koufax threw harder, had a tremendous curveball and a much better changeup than Santana. Doesn't say too much for pitching these days especially when Santana has already won 2 Cy Youngs and should have won 3 in a row.
