This is an interesting question. I don't know the exact answer, but i would guess that a softball pitcher could indeed be more accurate than a Baseball pitcher at their respective distances. baseball pitcher's throwing mechanics are unatural for the human body as the arm comes up over the shoulder and is torqued, so they will tire a lot faster than a softball pitcher. a softball pitcher has a more natural motion as the arm stays down and the arm will not tire as quickly. this would lead me to think that they could indeed throw more accurate, but for a specific answer i would have to say it just depends on the individual.

There is nothing I have found in the MLB rules that would prohibit a pitcher from a pitching motion similar to that of a softball pitcher.

I have included a link, named 'MLB Rule 8', to the MLB rules concerning the pitcher on this page.
