Other than Felix Hernandez, Clayton Kershaw, and Matt Harvey, which pitchers are worth the price of a behind the plate ticket?Doesn't have to be first row...but between rows 1-15.

Matt Harvey is only person with ERA barely below 3

I imagine there are better current options

Max Scherzer, especially this season.

Not known nearly well enough fact: He's the active leader in career strikeouts per 9 innings.

And this season, he's walking about 1 batter per 9 innings pitched. Simply amazing. He's got a K/BB ratio of nearly 10, only two other pitchers have a ratio above 6.5.

He's gone 7 with 2 or fewer earned runs in 13 of 17 starts, so you feel pretty good about your chances of seeing a masterpiece of a game.

Guy won't wow you with huge breaking balls, but he makes hitters look silly with a wicked fastball-change-up/slider combination.

Only Zack Grienke is having a better, or more consistent season, but he's not as exciting to watch in my opinion. I'm also a homer Nationals fan and if you go to a game I've probably jinxed you into watching a dud.

Watching him pitch left handed would be worth the price of admission, but I'm not sure you would need tickets behind the plate for that

Watching RA Dickey could be fun if he had his knuckler going well

Matt Harrison if you like to watch a good high school fastball.

Dallas Keuchel

Watching him on tv is like watching a symphony. I can literally watch every pitch and not ever want to get up to miss one. He's stuff isn't crazy overpowering, but he's so methodical in having a game plan and executing it.

I'd pony up to seem him up close.

Max Scherzer

i saw him in person earlier this year (not behind the plate, but still). He was awesome to watch. Works fast, is a bulldog, gets fired up. Man it was fun. I was rooting for the Cubs, but I loved watching him beat the Cubs.
