"Reynolds did a lot of study of breaking balls and knuckle balls, why and how they break when they do, what the limits are, etc. Anyway, he concluded that human pitchers were just short of the ability to throw balls that broke far more. In other words, if pitchers could get just a little more spin on the ball, the break would be significantly greater."

One Dave Drabecky comes to mind (I hope I spelled his name right, but I think we all know the story). I personally witnessed a pitcher form Austin, TX snap his arm in two places while releasing a pitch. Its too bad that there is only a handful of good pitchers available for MLB clubs at the moment and a large number of great hitters to face. I feel that pitchers are finding ways to add a little more spin in this modern game of baseball.
