There are 25 known pitch types in MLB Power Pros, each assigned a direction on the 8-direction control stick.

A pitcher can have up to two pitches per direction. Generally, the pitches will break in the general direction of the control stick (fastballs stay up, off-speed pitches are down, curveballs and sliders break left, screwballs and shuutos break right).

The following list is for RIGHT-HANDED pitchers in Behind PITCHER View. For a south-paw (or behind-batter view), just swap left(down) and right(down).
I've included some of the in-game abbreviations.

Up

• 4 seam Fastball (4SFB)
• 2 seam Fastball (2SFB)

Left

• Slider (SLD)
• Hard Slider (H-SLD)
• Cutter or Cut Fastball (CUT)

Down-Left

• Curveball (CB)
• Slow Curve (SCB)
• Drop Curve (DCB)
• Slurve (SLV)
• Knuckle Curve (KNCB)

Right

• Shuuto -a sort of reverse slider (SHU)
• Hard Shuuto (H-SHU)
• Sinking Fastball (SIFB)

Down-Right

• Sinker (SNK)
• Hard Sinker (H-SNK)
• Screwball (SC)

Down

• Changeup (CHG)
• Circle Changeup (CCHG)
• Forkball (FORK)
• Palmball (PALM)
• Vertical Slider (V-SLD)
• Knuckleball (KN)
• Splitter (SPLT)
• Foshball (FOSH)

The custom pitch from success mode has been seen as an Original (ORIG) pitch in the LEFT direction
