You are correct about Koufax! Apparently his teammates knew not to expect or ask him to hit batters for any reason, because he just couldn't bear to do it.
It's said that's why Roseboro buzzed Marichal with the return throw instead, leading to the bat-clocking incident
The other two guys are from different eras, but they share a very specific attribute with Koufax if that helps.
