Raphael Anthony Lumenti (born December 21, 1936) is an American former professional baseball player, a left-handed pitcher who appeared in 13 games played, six as a starting pitcher, between 1957 and 1959 for the Washington Senators of Major League Baseball. He batted left-handed, stood 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) tall and weighed 185 pounds (84 kg).
Lumenti attended Boston University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst before signing a bonus contract with Washington on September 2, 1957. He made his debut five days later, pitching a scoreless ninth inning in a 4–1 loss to the New York Yankees at Griffith Stadium.[1] The Bonus Rule then in effect forced the Senators to keep Lumenti on their Major League roster for his first two professional seasons; however, after pitching 11 games in 1957–58, Washington was able to send Lumenti to the Chattanooga Lookouts of the Double-A Southern Association. He made two more appearances in Washington in 1959 before finishing his career in minor league baseball after the 1961 season.
Altogether, Lumenti hurled 33⅓ innings in MLB, allowed 32 hits and 42 bases on balls, while striking out 30.[2]
