The Curveball

Give me Mets whose best pitch was the Curve, and/or those who might have a better pitch but who's who's Curve would/could be in consideration among the team's best curve-throwers, past or present.

Gooden's Lord Charles comes immediately into mind.

And Ryan's was Gooden's predecessor. I loved Neil Allen's tight, hard curveball.

"Koosman could throw his curve any time." — J.C. Martin His had some lateral break — more 11-to-5 than Gooden's and Ryan's straight north-to-south drop.

When he first came up, Niese. His was more of the slower, big-breaking type. Later not so much.

Thought immediately of Doc.

I was catching a few minutes of this game today, here and there. Watched the whole 9th and the fight (3:29:40). And saw Orosco in action for the first time in awhile. And I'll go with Orosco. I'm sure if I see a few other pitchers from the past they can impress me too if I go look at footage, but look at this curve Jesse throws to Eddie Milner at 3:29:05 (right before the brawl). They don't get any better than that. I will look no further. [youtube:nzs4w0id]dljM3PyIiXI[/youtube:nzs4w0id]

Bone spurs notwithstanding, Matz' is getting there.
