3 letters vs 3 letters has happened a few times. Tied for the lowest ever. There arent any 2 letter last name pitchers in the bigs right now.

Those are just abbreviations, it’s Jacksonville vs. Bazinga

Seunghwan Oh and Fu-Te Ni never started a game, so probably.

Not the first time. Hyun-Jin Ryu faced Cliff Lee in 2013. And there are probably a good number of times that happened prior. But yeah I can’t think of any established starters ever with a two letter last name.

aside from that time that Sadaharu Oh and Yo Yo Ma started against each other in an exhibition game

Well it won’t be the fewest amount of hits ever in a starting pitching matchup, I can promise you that.

Jaxbaz or Bazjax are r/tragedeigh names on their own right
SkippyNordquist
Not a starting matchup, but Seunghwan Oh and Derek Law were technically pitching against each other at the same time in this game:

Not the fewest overall but possibly the fewest to include both a X and a Z
