Dane De La Rosa (6’7”)

One of the greatest professional baseball players of this generation, Dane De La Rosa has been drafted to different impressive teams including the Yankees, the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Angels. He’s currently playing in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball after giving retirement a try since he realized that he wasn’t totally ready to give up his gloves yet. He is 6’7” tall and weighs 245 pounds and despite the fact he didn’t play in the major league, his baseball career in the minor league has been pretty impressive and he has a 4.24 overall ERA. He plans to continue playing for a while since he is only 35 years old, not so old compared to some players, and his best playing years may even have yet to come!
