Nicknamed "the Barber," Sal Maglie commanded the corners of the plate as well as any pitcher in the history of baseball.

Maglie's numbers are not overly impressive due to his stint in the Mexican League that got him banned from Major League Baseball. However, during his time in the Mexican League, he was coached by Dolph Lugue, a curveball mastermind, which helped him rely on the pitch upon returning to the majors.
