impressive work Bay City!
Really interesting to see the fastball – slider breakdown, and how devastating his slider was!

On pure stuff alone:
Lincecum reigns supreme.
But debating between Cain and Sanchez is tricky. Putting aside the control issues they share, there are still a lot of similarities. Both throw lively heat upwards of 98 MPH (the best pitch in both players’ arsenals too). Both feature a good curveball and slider (not equal, but definitely comparable). And Cain has a fairly well-developed change, whereas Sanchez doesn’t really have one (he’ll throw it, but he’s nowhere near as comfortable as Cain is with it). But Sanchez is the better strikeout pitcher (9.1 K/9 IP compared to 7.6). So I dunno… that’s a good question. If I had to pick, I’d say Sanchez has the better raw stuff.

Cain’s change up is a lot more than “fairly well-developed”, it’s his best offspeed pitch.

Yeah, “not quite fully-developed” is really what I meant to say. It has become so much stronger since 2007, and it will keep getting better I think.
