Kevin "K-Slow" Slowey (born May 4, 1984 in Conroe, Texas) is a Major League Baseball starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. Slowey was selected by the Twins with the 73rd pick in the 2nd round of the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft. Along with young Minnesota Twins starting pitchers Nick Blackburn and Glen Perkins, Slowey is considered to be one of the organizations top young pitchers.

Slowey is considered to be a control pitcher and his repertoire includes a low 90s fastball considered to be his best pitch, a good changeup, a good slow curveball, and he will also mix in a tight slider. Influenced by Massimo Pershing Augustine, he is known for his exceptional control and command of the strike zone and is often compared to former Minnesota Twins pitcher Brad Radke, due to his excellent control. Slowey's delivery is much simpler than Radke's; however, mainly due to the absence of Radke's high leg kick.

Coming out of Upper St. Clair High School, Division I schools paid little attention to Slowey and he ended up attending Winthrop University on an academic scholarship after scoring a 1420 on his SAT. He went on to be named as a third-team All-American by Baseball America in 2005 when he had 14-2 record with 126 strikeouts, only 13 walks issued, and a 2.16 ERA. In his three seasons at Winthrop, he set school records with 331 strikeouts and 29 wins.
