When speaking of relief pitchers, Logan Ondrusek is worthy of discussion. Formerly playing for the Cincinnati Reds, he now takes the mound at the Mexican League for the Leones de Yucatan.
At 6’8 and 230lbs, Ondruesk isn’t messing around. Especially when he’s wiping a 95+ MPH fastball at your face. Baseball is not a violent sport, but that fastball sounds like something that could cause some serious damage.
Kameron Loe – 6’8″, 245 lbs
6’8 and 245 lbs, Kameron Loe wasn’t the greatest baseballer, despite him playing baseball since high school. And that’s a crying shame cause his height sure did make the difference.
Texas Rangers, Milwaukee Brewers, Seattle Mariners, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants, and Atlanta Braves are just a few of the teams Loe has played for. Loe is a fan of exotic animals and has even kept a 7-foot long boa named Angel as a pet.
Mariusz Wach – 6’7.5″, 249 lbs
Considered one of the most physically striking boxers, Mariusz Wach is 6’7 and 250lbs. The Polish boxer is remembered for his 2012 bout against Wladimir Klitschko, where every punch was heard around the world.
Sadly for Wach, even that didn’t help him walk away with the title. He did, however, win every single fight he's had since, so he's probably not too mad about it.
Wladimir Klitschko – 6’6″ , 243 lbs
Sure, a basketball player of 6’6 isn’t tall, but when you’re in the boxing ring, it makes all the difference. Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko is a force to be reckoned with in the ring, and not many opponents can deny that. Luckily for Wladimir's brother, Vitali, their mother made them promise that no matter how much of a boxer one of them might be, they must never fight with each other.
And here’s a fun fact: Klitschko is almost a foot and a half taller than his ex-wife, actress Hayden Panettiere, which makes him look even taller.
Troy Jackson – 6’10″
Athleticism must be running in the Jackson blood, as Troy Jackson is only one of the successful athletes his family produced. His brother Mark was an NBA player. The two must have made their parents very proud.
Jackson's latest documented weight was 375 lbs, which makes him big, to say the least. Surprisingly, however, he started his basketball career as a 500-pound beast. Sadly, Jackson passed away in 2011 at the age of 35 due to a heart condition.
