Default Filthiest pitches in baseball?

What players and pitches do you guys think are the filthiest in the game.. I mean pitches that you know are coming but you still have a hard time hitting it.

I will give some examples of past great filthy pitches and then lets sound off on some current filth!
Sandy koufax and his fastball.. or in their prime pitches like Pedro's circle change
or The units slider a few years back...

anyhow pick your favorite in the game today filth!

Chamberlains fastball
Rivera's splitter

Chamberlain's fastball may be nastiest in the game atm IMO.

I'm trying not to be bias and just go with what I know of the teams I watch on a regular bases and I can find a ton of pitching stats but where can we find a more in depth analysis of there pitching counts by type and such? A guy like Felix Hernandez leading the MLB in strike outs he's got to be doing something right...cant find which pitch is doing it for him though. (This doesn't mean I think he's one of the filthiest...)

Johan Santana's change-up is pretty killer.

Frank Viola's changeup
Blyleven's curve
Randy Johnson's slider (especially after the fastball-over-the-head pitch)
Maddux's two-seamer
Carmona's sinker
Mike Scott's... uh.. anyone else remember him?
