Bastardo for the Phillies is making his major league pitching debut tonight and almost got an AB before he went out to the mound.
Has any pitcher making his major league pitching debut ever had his 1st major league AB before toeing the rubber?

Considering we have been playing the game for 130+ years the answer has to be "Yes".

Why not? I think that meets the criteria.
Mike Thompson - Debut 5/17/2006
Top of First - Mike Thompson bunts into a fielders choice
Bottom of First - Mike Thompson throws his first pitch with a 9 run lead and a 0-1 batting record.
