Kevin Cameron pitched over 16 scoreless innings to start his career this year for the Padres.

Thanks for the confirmation, Andy. I'm not subscribed to the Play Index (yet), so it was next-to-impossible for me to confirm that Cruz was the leader.

Good point, statboy. I actually did that search too and I can confirm that you are correct that Cruz is the leader since 1957.

I was looking up something similar just yesterday, and found that Victor Cruz started his career with 21.1 scoreless innings (over 13 games) to start his career. That's the best start (innings-wise) that I've found so far.
