… At least from the point of view of major league stats, Cisco Carlos is the more interesting case here. His rookie year of 1967 stands out due to an ERA of 0.86 over 8 games (7 starts) and 41.2 IP. Furthermore, in those 41.2 innings he allowed only 23 hits and 9 walks while striking out 27.
Indeed, Carlos’ performance was record-setting. It turns out that in those 7 starts he didn’t allow a single extra-base hit, and that is the post-1954 record for most consecutive such starts at the beginning of a career:
