Carl Woolworth Weilman (November 29, 1889 – May 25, 1924), was a professional baseball pitcher in the Major Leagues from 1912–1920. He played for the St. Louis Browns. At the time, he was the tallest pitcher in the American League at 6 ft 5+1⁄2 in (1.97 m).[1] Weilman is one of the few players in baseball history to strike out six times in one game, and the first player recorded to have done so.[2][3]
Weilman died on May 25, 1924 in Hamilton, Ohio of tuberculosis caused by an episode of the flu in Spring Training 1924 while working as a scout for the Browns.[4]
