1960 Topps #286 Ray Semproch
About Ray Semproch
Roman Anthony Semproch, a right-hander from Cleveland's St. Stanislaus High School, signed with the Phillies in 1951 but didn't reach the majors until April 15, 1958, when he won in relief against the Reds. That rookie season was the high point of his career: a 13-11 record and 3.92 ERA over 30 starts, with a stretch at midseason where he actually led the National League in wins. Asthmatic and unable to repeat that form, he fell to 3-10 in 1959 and was traded to Detroit that December along with Chico Fernandez. His 1960 Topps card catches him with the Tigers during that transition, after he'd turned in 17 relief outings and a 3-0 mark for the club. Detroit soon flipped him to the Dodgers for Clem Labine, though he never pitched for Los Angeles; a Rule 5 pick by the expansion Senators sent him on to the Angels, where his four-year, 19-21 career closed in 1961.
