Best Answer

The last full time MLB starter inducted prior to the 2009 elections was Nolan Ryan in 1999. Dennis Eckersley was inducted in 2004 and, while best remembered as a closer, started 361 games in his career and threw a no-hitter (pitching for the Cleveland Indians) against the California Angels in 1977.

Since Ryan's induction in 1999, the Veteran's Committee has elected several starting pitchers from the Negro Leagues (Jose Mendez, Andy Cooper, Ray Brown, and Hilton Smith)
