[Skylar Dodds]

Scoreless innings to start your career.  The only place I could find such a
stat was through baseball-reference.com and they only had data based back to
1953 (that's what I meant by, "as long as I could find").

17 2/3 innings without an earned run to start your career.  A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
