Now, here’s a batter no one wanted to be up against. Nate Freiman stands at 6’8 and is 250lbs; while he hasn’t played in the MLB since 2014, you can find him in the Mexican Baseball League instead.
Freiman’s wife, Amanda Blumenherst, is a professional golfer, which isn’t surprising when you learn that the two met as Duke University’s 2009 Athletes of the Year.
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.
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.
Joe Finley – 6’8″, 260 lbs
As far as weight loss plans are concerned, Joe Finley didn’t care. He was all muscle and ferocity. At 6’8 and 250lbs, Finley was a hawk on the ice, and he wasn’t someone you wanted to see on the other end of a puck.
Most recently, Finley played for Helsinki's HIFK, but he had several teams to call home over the years, such as the South Carolina Stingrays, the Hamilton Bulldogs, and the Buffalo Sabers.
Jonathan Broxton – 6’4″, 300 lbs
Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Jonathan Broxton may have just been the largest athlete in the clubhouse. 300lbs and a height of 6’4, Broxton was a beast when he was still active. Maybe he had the same trainer as Bartolo Colon.
His fastest fastball on record had a speed of 102 mph. That was recorded in 2009, the same year as when he and his wife, Elizabeth, had their first child.
