Sal Campisi

Sal Campisi was a professional baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball from 1969 to 1971. Born in 1942, Campisi made his mark during a transitional period in baseball, as the sport began to evolve beyond the traditional playing styles of the deadball era. Over the course of his brief career, he played for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago White Sox, showcasing a solid performance on the mound. Campisi finished his career with a record of 3-2 and an impressive earned run average (ERA) of 2.7, indicating his effectiveness in limiting runs during his appearances. He struck out 35 batters and recorded 4 saves, demonstrating his ability to contribute both as a starter and in relief roles.
