That wasn't the point at all. The point was not that they are having good years but that the list is obviously comprised of good pitchers (I purposely did not provide any other data other than pitcher name and soft%). Did you know one of the first signs of intelligence in humans (the genus of hominids) was the ability to distinguish patterns? I'm really sorry though, as it seems this particular genetic trait has skipped your lineage all together.
No, I said soft% is not related to BABIP because it has nothing to do with whether the ball is in play or not. Saying a pitcher can't control quality of contact is like saying a pitcher can't control his SwStr%, it's the same thing... whether you miss a bat totally or by a little, it's the same deal.
