Thomas Caesar Candiotti (born August 31, 1956) is an American former knuckleball pitcher in Major League Baseball.

He played for the Milwaukee Brewers, Cleveland Indians, Toronto Blue Jays, Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Dodgers.

According to former Texas Rangers pitching coach Tom House, Candiotti was only the 20th pitcher in major-league history to throw the knuckleball on a full-time basis.

Candiotti led the Blue Jays' pitching staff with three complete games and a 2.98 ERA in 19 starts for a ballclub that had lost ace right-hander Dave Stieb to a season-ending injury.

In his first 16 starts with Toronto, his ERA was 2.21, a remarkable feat given the fact he threw the knuckleball and was working with two catchers, (Pat Borders and Greg Myers), who had never caught that pitch before.

"[5] He left the Blue Jays the following season to sign with Los Angeles where he pitched well for six years, hampered by poor run support.

From 1992 to 1996, Candiotti's 3.57 ERA was fourth-best among National League pitchers with at least 900 innings pitched, behind only Greg Maddux (2.13), Tom Glavine (3.16), and John Smoltz (3.27), and 11th-best in the majors overall.

At the time of his retirement, Candiotti ranked in the top 100 all-time in major-league history in starts and strikeouts.
