These are the AL Central's best pitches

There is not even an argument. Corey Kluber's curveball is the best pitch among the elite offerings featured by the Indians' talented rotation. There is a case to be made as well that his breaking ball is the best pitch in baseball today.

The running joke in Cleveland's clubhouse is that no one even knows what to call it.

"It's a slider, curve and cutter all in one," Josh Tomlin said with a laugh late last season. "I don't know, man. I just know it's nasty."

Heading into Kluber's start on Wednesday, though, his curveball -- or Klurve, if we want to assign the unique weapon its own moniker -- had company.
