MLB debuts are usually pretty memorable (at least for the player). So who had the very worst debut in all of MLB history?

One of the weirdest, best first games was Phil Hughes in 2007. He went into the 7th with a No-Hitter, but had to leave the game when he hyperextended his plant knee. He missed 3 months.

[@phoenixgamer3480]

That was actually his second career game, in his first game he allowed four runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings.

[@charlesedward5047]

Did it grow back?

@@phoenixgamer3480 Ah. Was going off memory. I remember that injury so vividly.

[@metsfan9298]

I remember when I was playing high school ball, being on Long Island, New York we have plenty of Mets and yankee fans and someone on my high school baseball game said after that Hughes start he was certain that Hughes was the real deal. I still remember him saying that lol

[@drc314]

@@metsfan9298 I've always wondered if his career would have been different without getting hurt so early. Probably not much different, but you never know

[@CSTLW]

The actual worst debut should be Cardinals pitcher Mike Mayers, on July 24th 2016, when he gave up 8 hits and 9 runs in 1.1 innings, for an ERA of 60.75. Another one of the worst is Cardinals pitcher Roel Ramirez, on August 16th 2020, where he gave up 6 hits and 6 earned runs in 0.2 innings for an ERA of 81.00. The worst part about it though, is that he gave up 4 home runs in a row.

The Yankees AAA closer just had his MLB debut. Hit the first batter. Then balked. Then hit the 2nd batter. Then got an out. Then walked the next guy. Replaced with a reliever, all 3 runners scored. 81 ERA. It was a blowout in favor of the Yankees against one of the worst teams.

Alan Travers had the worst debut ever. He surrendered 26 hits and 24 runs (14 earned) in eight innings. (He took the loss). Seven walks versus one strike out. He was, however, credited with a complete game. So, there’s that. Have you done a vid on on the best MLB pitching debuts? Where would you rank Billy Rohr (complete game shut out, only one hit allowed, a single, with two out in the ninth) His second game was also a CG. He gave up one run, struck out seven and walked only one. So, there’s that.

The worst final appearance goes to Jeremy Guthrie. Remember that game vividly because he was called up as a spot start and gave up something like 12 runs in 0.2 innings (or something close to that.) He never pitched again...

Considering how bad this debut was, I don't think you'd want him to be the designated driver. Meanwhile, this one game makes me think of Charlie Zink, a career minor leaguer who got to start a game for the Red Sox in 2008. His stat line: 4.1 innings, 8 runs (all earned), 1 strikeout, 16.62 ERA. The one start was worth -0.3 WAR and he never pitched in the majors again.

He was also given a 10-run 1st inning lead in that game and managed not to hold it
