Ok, this new pitch movement leaderboard and chart by Baseball Savant is seriously cool.
Here's a twitter thread from Mike Petriello where he talks about its nuances a bit more.

The leaderboard numbers are compared to pitches with a similar velocity.

The leaderboards show us that Chaz Roe, Adam Ottovino, Ryan Pressley, and Sonny Gray have a disgusting amount of horizontal movement on their sliders.

Trevor Bauer has the most vertical drop on his curveball, which makes sense because as weird as the dude is, he is a big into his training at Driveline and tinkering with his pitches to get results like this.

Check it out.
