Dominick Thomas Zanni is a former professional baseball player. A right-handed pitcher, he pitched in 111 games over all or part of nine seasons in Major League Baseball for the San Francisco Giants, Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds from 1958 to 1966.
Zanni's major league career began when he was signed by the Giants as an amateur free agent before the 1951 season. Over the following seasons, Zanni moved up the minor league baseball ranks. On June 5, 1954, Zanni pitched a no-hitter for the Sioux City Cowboys of the Western League. In 1956, Zanni was a spring training roster invitee, but was sent back to the minors before the season started. He spent the following seasons with the Louisville Colonels and the Phoenix Giants, and helped lead the Giants to the Pacific Coast League championship in 1958.
This led to his major league debut on September 28. He pitched against the St. Louis Cardinals, pitching four innings and allowing one run, earning the victory as the Giants won 7-2.
Zanni spent the offseason in the Dominican League, then was back on the Giants' roster for the 1959 season. During the season, he pitched in 11 innings in nine games, striking out 11.
