ShareThisJoba Hall of Fame Watch
With one more scoreless outing with a strikeout Joba Chamberlain will take sole possession of the longest such streak to start a career with 8 games. What other future Hall of Famer shares the distinction of having seven such games? Why Joel Johnston, of course. Others with a high number of scoreless innings and strikeouts to start their careers include four with six and a bunch with five. Todd Wellemeyer for instance started his career with 7 2/3rd scoreless innings with 13 strikeouts and no walks and just two hits allowed.
Joba is a couple years younger than most of the other guys on this list, though Victor Cruz was just 20 when he debuted.
How you can do this: I went to the Pitching Streak Finder in the Play Index. Checked "To Start Player's Career", Selected R = 0 and SO >= 1 for "with the following in each game:" and hit submit.
