Jake Odorizzi played two Games with the Kansas City Royals in 2012, and he was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays for the 2013 season.  He played in the minors for most of that year, and he became a part of Tampa's starting rotation the season after.   That year, with his four-seam fastball, he would go 11-13 with a 4.13 ERA and was eighth in American League Rookie of the Year voting.

He would have what was arguably his best season with the Rays in 2015 when he went 9-9, and his 3.35 ERA was good enough for eighth in the AL.  He would win 10 Games in the two seasons that followed and was traded to the Minnesota Twins after.  With Tampa, Odorizzi had a record of 40-37 with 639 Strikeouts.
