Judd Bruce Doyle (September 15, 1881 – November 21, 1947) was a right-handed Major League Baseball pitcher from 1906 to 1910 for the New York Highlanders and Cincinnati Reds. Doyle got his nickname "Slow Joe" early in his baseball career because he was a very slow working pitcher. He would take a lot of time between pitches, often stalling for notable amounts of time.[2]
