softballer
Underhand pitch thrower
A softballer is someone who plays softball, the variant of baseball played with a larger ball on a smaller field.
The term appears most often in casual contexts: She's been a softballer since high school.
In figurative use, a softballer might be someone who asks easy questions or takes a gentle approach, though this sense is uncommon.
