Joaquin Andujar made his major league debut on April 8, 1976. The 23 year old right hander made the club out of spring training, and was penciled in as a starter in a very young and intriguing rotation. In a few early season relief appearances, he would struggle with his control and the walks he issued would come back to haunt him.
