Bruce Ruffin (1986)

Ruffin was called up from the minors following the release of Hall of Famer Steve Carlton. Ruffin dominated in 21 starts, earning Rookie of the Year votes going 9-4 with six complete games and an ERA of 2.46. He went just 33-54 over the next five years with the Phillies. Although Ruffin pitched 12 seasons in the Major Leagues, he never came close to his rookie success, finishing with a 60-82 record with a 4.19 ERA.
