Logan Ondrusek (6’8”)
Relief pitcher Logan Ondrusek is another baseball player with a tall frame, being 6’8” tall and weighing in at 230 pounds. Even though he isn’t among the most successful players of the sport, he’s still a fun player to watch – and it isn’t only because of his massive size (though no one wants a ball coming their way if this guy throws it!). He’s played for the Cincinnati Reds and the Baltimore Orioles in Major League Baseball and he played internationally as well, for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. In early 2018, he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers but he was released just 4 months later and in early 2019, he joined the Washington Nationals.

Akebono Taro (6’8”)
American-Japanese Akebono Taro is a former champion in sumo wrestling and he weighs a massive 550 pounds and has a height of 6’8” – relatively tall for a sumo wrestler. The highest rank wrestlers can achieve in sumo is the Yokozuna, which he succeeded in reaching and was the first foreign born wrestler (not born in Japan) to do so. Needless to say, there’s a high risk of injury in this sport as it so physical and the competitors have massive sizes, and Taro had his fair share during his career. In 2000, despite winning his eleventh title for the top division, he suffered a bad knee injury soon after, which took him out of the tournament in 2001 and eventually led to his retirement.
