Most starts at the beginning of a career without a complete game

From 1986 to 1987, Bobby Witt established a MLB and Texas Rangers record when he pitched in 55 consecutive games without registering a complete game to start his career.  Today, this is not only a Texas Rangers record, it remains an AL record as well.  In 397 career starts, Witt ended up pitching 47 complete games.  Another interesting fact is that Witt had a career best 13 complete games in 22 starts during the 1988 season, one year after establishing his MLB record for not being able to complete any games.  In 2021, the Rangers were the only team in MLB that did not have a starting pitcher with a complete game.
