This article is part of the Know Your Orioles 40-man series, which features an article about each player currently on the Orioles roster. There will be one every weekday until we run out of players.
Today’s featured 40-man player is a recent Rule 5 success story, Tyler Wells, who is a towering 6 feet 8 inches tall and 255 lbs. Imagine stepping into the batter’s box to see that human being perched atop the mound some 60 feet 6 inches away, staring back at you, and getting ready to fire off mid-90s heat.
Wells has got to be one of the tallest pitchers in Orioles history.
