Who do you got?

In history I'm taking Lee Smith. Had huge fastball and was a big boy on the mound. As for now, I guess Fernando Rodney or Joe Nathan?

Best right now would be Kimbrel. Most intimidating probably Chapman. Triple digit heat and that can get wild... I wouldn't want to step in a batter box against him in fear of my life.

I don't know one would consider Billy Wagner that intimidating but he's one of my all time favorites.

As a Cubs fan, Carlos Marmol intimidated the hell out of me everytime I watched him pitch.

History: Rivera (I just don't see how it could be anyone else, and I'm a Red Sox fan)

Now: Either Rodney (best stuff) or Chapman (most heat)

I wont disagree with this.


Smoltz was pretty intimidating when he was closing. Nasty, powerful stuff.

Chapman throws 104. That has to account for something as far as intimidation is concerned.

Rivera. Teams new they had no chance if he had the ball in his hands in the 9th
