I remember a lot of lurching, silly-looking swings by guys thinking they were getting a 95 mph fastball! Schmidt, for sure.

When I think of excellent changeups during my Giants' lifetime, I think of Jason Schmidt, Noah Lowry, and now Tim Lincecum. Lincecum's changeup is really impressive to me. It's a pitch that was rated as average-ish when he came out of college but it's been a major weapon for him in the majors. Schmidt's changeup was nasty, too. It's the pitch that helped him become dominant. When Lowry had his changeup going (ie: 2004) it was a thing of beauty. I’ll start this one.
