Only aware of 1 other guy besides Wakefield in the last few years to throw it as a pure pitch but I think even he dropped in from his routine.
Dickey throws like 95% knuckleballs. He has a traditional slow one and an "angry" knuckleball that he throws at like 80 MPH with a ton of movement. He mixes in a low 80's fastball as well when he needs a get-me-over strike.
