Most baseball fans identify Tom Candiotti first and foremost as a
knuckleball pitcher. He actually began his career as a conventional
pitcher in 1983 after becoming just the second player to appear in
the major leagues following Tommy John surgery, at a time when only
Tommy John himself had ever come back from the operation.
Candiotti, whose arm recovered following the surgery, threw
fastballs and curveballs in his first two years in the majors
before switching over to the knuckleball prior to the 1986 season.
Though he would then go on to use the knuckleball primarily
throughout the rest of his career, he also threw a good enough
curveball to get hitters out. This biography is based on the
recollections of Candiotti himself, his former teammates and
managers, newspaper and periodical accounts, and archival
resources.
