[edit] Biographical Information

Scott Elarton had a commitment to Stanford University to play baseball and basketball, but the Houston Astros made him the 25th overall pick in the 1994 amateur draft and gave him a $750,000 bonus to forego college. In the 1993 World Junior Championships, Elarton was 0 for 10 for the US; on the mound, he was 1-0 with 2 saves and a 1.74 ERA for the Silver Medalists.

Elarton briefly held one very obscure all-time record: most consecutive starts of six innings or fewer. He pitched exactly seven innings on 22 September 2001, and again on 28 July 2004; in between, he had 28 starts of six or under. Wil Ledezma broke this record in September 2006.
