Harry How / Getty ImagesThe baseball team at St. Thomas University in Miami has a pitcher named Ben Ancheff, who doesn't have the typical body of an athlete. He's 6-foot-2, and listed at 300 POUNDS. It's actually not THAT uncommon to have a 300-pound pitcher in the majors. Jonathan Broxton of the Brewers is 6-foot-4, and right around that. He still looks kind of athletic though, he's just a big dude. Ancheff looks more like he should be watching "Star Trek: Voyager", surrounded by empty bags of Funyuns. Apparently he's a decent pitcher though.
