Who's got the prettiest delivery? Best pickoff move?

Andy Petitte's got a pretty good pick off. Guy on our team has one like his and today picked off 2 guys in a row.
Isn't it odd that this post received so little interest?
Yet anytime a dad posts a video of his kid, everyone converges with advice on what should be changed.
Skakin' my head. I'm looking for GOOD examples of how to throw.

Mr Maddux in Chicago and Mr Glavine will do for starters on either side of the slab

The HSBBW is much about helping others, but you do bring up a good point!
Guys I like are...
- Greg Maddux
- Roy Oswalt
- Zach Duke
- Freddy Garcia

Dontrell Willis ... be yourself !!!
Maddux and Carpenter --controlled calm and little excess movement. Also agree that Pettite has a beautiful move.

Hey, there's something to be said for that. Ultimately a pitcher has to discard blind obedience to style fads --learning from them if he can-- and find what works best for him.
Clemens delivery is picture perfect. That would be who I would recommend anyone to tailor their delivery after.
Stay away from Kerry Woods delivery style. He leads too much with his upper body. That's why he's had so many arm problems over the years.

Interesting that no one has mentioned Pedro.
Pretty clean & certainly gets the most out of his body size.

Texan,
You are exactly right. He's got to be doing something right to have a career record of 200 wins and 84 losses. He's already a shoe-in for the HOF in my opinion.
OP
Yesterday I saw Daniel Cabrera pitching, it was one of his good ones not like the 10 K 9 BB day but his delivery looked amazing yesterday. As far as pickoff moves i think Andy Petitte no question. I don't mean to be all Orioles but Kris Benson has a nice smooth delievery and no wasted motion. And like some of you guys said guys like Clemens and others.
Going back a few years, I used to love to watch Rick Honeycutt pitch. He had that pretty curveball, 12/6'n and a real nice move. He also had a pretty hard slider. Although he wasn't the best pitcher around I liked to watch him on the hill.
