Opening day is almost here. Every team but the Yankees has named their opening day starter, so here’s a team-by-team look at those selections, with some (hopefully) interesting related tidbits.

More after the jump.

Angels – Garrett Richards gets the nod for the Halos, breaking a run of six straight opening day assignments for Jered Weaver. Over at MLB.com, Mike Petriello reports that Richards’ curveball spin of over 3,000 rpm was the highest spin rate of any pitch in 2015.

Astros – Dallas Keuchel gets his second straight OD assignment, the first Astro to do so since Roy Oswalt in 2009-10. Houston’s six straight seasons (2010-15) with a different opening day starter was the longest run since the franchise began its existence with a different OD starter for 8 straight years (1962-69).

Athletics – Sonny Gray gets the call for the third straight year. He becomes the first pitcher with three opening day starts for the Athletics by his age 26 season.

Blue Jays – Marcus Stroman gets his first opening day assignment. In a franchise first, he is the second straight under-25 Blue Jay to start on opening day, following Drew Hutchison last season.

Braves – Julio Teheran gets his third straight opening day start. Like Gray for Oakland, Teheran is the youngest Brave with three OD starts, all by his age 25 season.

Brewers – Wily Peralta get his first opening day assignment. Peralta is one of four players with that surname in major league history, all of whom are currently active.

Cardinals – Adam Wainwright gets his fourth straight opening day assignment and fifth overall. He becomes the first Redbird since Bob Gibson with that four-peat.

Cubs – Defending CYA winner Jake Arrieta gets the call for the Baby Bears. Part of Arrieta’s success last year was having an 85 mph average “exit velocity” on balls in play, the lowest of  any pitcher, as reported by Mike Pitriello on MLB.com.

Diamondbacks – Newcomer Zack Greinke gets the ball in Zona. Somewhat surprisingly, this is only the second OD assignment for Greinke, despite 5 straight seasons (and six overall) with 15 wins and a .667 W-L%. Greinke is only the 6th live ball era pitcher with 5 such seasons by age 30; the other five had a total of 30 opening day starts by age 30.

Dodgers – Clayton Kershaw gets the call for the sixth straight year. The only Dodger with a longer run is Don Sutton with 7 consecutive seasons (1972-78).

Giants – Madison Bumgarner takes the ball for the third straight season, becoming the third Giant southpaw with that accomplishment, but the first in almost 60 years. With another 200 IP season this year, Bumgarner will tie those same two Giant lefties (Johnny Antonelli and Carl Hubbell) with 6 or more such seasons, and two others (Fernando Valenzuela and Frank Tanana) with as many such seasons by age 26.

Indians – Corey Kluber gets his second straight OD assignment. Kluber follows Herb Score, Luis Tiant and Sam McDowell as Indians with two 200 IP seasons with more strikeouts than innings pitched, but is the first of that group to start on opening day in one of those campaigns.

Mariners – Felix Hernandez takes the ball for the eighth straight season and ninth overall. Seattle is riding a 9 year opening day winning streak, eight of those coming in Hernandez’s eight OD quality starts. Curiously, Hernandez has never started, in any team game, on his April 8th birthday, and won’t again this year as he turns 30.

Marlins – Wei-Yin Chen makes his Miami debut in his first OD start, and the second (after Chien-Ming Wang) by a Taiwan-born pitcher. Chen and Tommy Milone currently have the two highest career W-L% marks among 17 pitchers to allow fewer than twice as many walks as home runs in 100+ starts over the first 5 seasons of their careers. That group includes only one pitcher (Jim Merritt) who did not play in the past 20 years.

Mets – Matt Harvey gets the ball for his first OD start. Harvey just turned 27 and is thus more than 14 years younger than the Mets OD starter last season, Bartolo Colon. But, that’s not even close to the record set by the Mariners’ Felix Hernandez is his first OD start in 2007, then just shy of his 21st birthday and more than 22 years younger than Seattle’s 2006 OD starter Jamie Moyer.

Nationals – Max Scherzer gets the nod for the second straight year in Washington. His OD start last year was the first in the expansion era of 7+ IP allowing 3 or more runs, but none of them earned. Quiz: who is the last OD pitcher to win such a game?

Orioles – Chris Tillman takes the hill for the third straight season. Baltimore is 6-1 over their last 7 OD games, and hasn’t had an OD starter lose a game since 2008. That’s the longest streak for the O’s since an 11-year run from 1966 to 1976.

Padres – Tyson Ross gets the call for his first OD start. Ross’s current .381 career W-L% record in 100+ starts before age 30 is the lowest in more than 35 years for a pitcher with an OD start in that part of his career.

Phillies – Jeremy Hellickson makes his Phildelphia debut, and will try to pitch more than 5 innings. If he does, he’ll break the Phillies’ 3-year run of OD starters failing to pitch into the 6th inning, the longest current streak for any franchise.

Pirates – Francisco Liriano makes his third straight OD start for Pittsburgh and fourth of his career. Liriano becomes only the third Pirate left-hander with an OD three-peat and the first since Bob Veale did it four seasons in a row from 1964 to 1967.

Rangers – Cole Hamels takes the hill in Texas, the franchise’s eighth different OD starter in the past eight years, the longest such streak in franchise history.

Rays – Chris Archer makes his second straight OD start. Archer and Chris Sale last year became the first pair of pitchers in the same season to log 250 strikeouts but fail to complete more than one game.

Red Sox – David Price takes the ball for the fourth straight season and fifth overall. He’s the sixth pitcher aged 30 or younger to start on opening day for three different franchises, but the first to do so in a span of only three seasons.

Reds – Raisel Iglesias makes his first OD start in only his 19th career game. That’s the earliest OD start from the start of a career for any Red since at least 1913, displacing Dutch Reuther who got the 1919 OD call in his 20th career game.

Rockies – Jorge De La Rosa gets the nod for Colorado for the second time. One day shy of his 35th birthday, he becomes the oldest Rockie to start on opening day.

Royals – Edinson Volquez makes his fourth OD start and first for Kansas City. Volquez’s 83 ERA+ in 150+ starts thru age 29 is tied for the lowest mark since 1901. But, among 16 other such pitchers with ERA+ below 90, Volquez is the only one to post two qualified 115 ERA+ seasons aged 30-31.

Tigers – Justin Verlander makes his eighth OD start for Detroit, second only to Jack Morris with eleven. Mike Pitriello on MLB.com credits Verlander’s second half turnaround last season to throwing his four-seamer (with the majors’ highest spin rate for that pitch) up in the zone more frequently.

Twins – Ervin Santana makes his first OD start. Santana’s 2012 season with 1.97 HR/9 is the second highest mark among 63 pitchers to post 1.5 HR/9 in a qualified season before age 30. But, among that group, Santana’s 0.94 HR/9 in 300+ IP age 30-32 is one of only ten such marks under 1.0.

White Sox – Chris Sale makes his third OD start in Chicago. Sale’s 6.52 SO/BB ratio last year was the 18th mark above 6.5 in a 200 IP season since 1995. Fergie Jenkins in 1971 has the only other such live ball era season.

Yankees – The Bombers haven’t named their opening day starter yet, but whoever it is will be trying to end the Yankees four-year opening day losing streak. If the Yankees do lose again this year, it will mark only the second time they’ve lost five in a row, and the first since 1934-38.
