Knuckle ballers don't count.
Paul Byrd retired right? So who is it?

Maholm doesnt exactly blow anyone away.

True, but I don't think he's the softest

The Astros Dallas Keuchel throws his fastball between 85-90.

Outside of R.A. Dickey, it's Barry Zito.

Shaun Marcum comes to mind. There's probably a LOOGY somewhere that throws softer.

Ollie Perez?

Arroyo typically throws the slowest pitches outside of Dickey. Sure his fastball isn't the slowest, but he throws some curves in there that are in the 60's.

Francis from Colorado is constantly referred to as a "soft-throwing" pitcher, not sure of his actual speeds tho.

Shaun Marcum has to be up there.

Yea well he was in the low 80's the last few years
Posted on 5/28/13 at 10:50 pm to Tiger1242
And still getting outs.

As an A's fan, I can definitely say that Milone is a big time soft thrower. Total smoke and mirrors pitcher too. Thrives on a big pitcher's park and a good defense behind him.
