Answer: Jake Odorizzi 

Jake Odorizzi began his MLB career in 2012 with the Kansas City Royals at age 22. 

For his career, he is a 74-69 pitcher and posted a respectable 3.99 ERA. He has almost exclusively been a starting pitcher, starting 237 of his 241 games he appeared in. 

Odorizzi was acquired by the Braves in 2022 in hopes to help with a playoff push but those hopes were shattered by his underwhelming performance.
