"Question. How many times has a starter picked up in season helped his team win the World Series?

 

Answer. Tom Zachary was picked up on waivers from the Washington Senators in August, 1928 by the New York Yankees. In October of that year, he won a start for the Yankees in the World Series.

 

Since then only one pitcher has been traded in season to a World Series winner and also won a World Series start for his new team. That was Mike Torrez, who was traded to the Yankees from Oakland April 27th, 1977. He went on to win two games of the 1977 Series including a complete game clincher in game six. Oakland was 11-7 at the time of the trade."
