Carl Woolworth Weilman (November 29, 1889 – May 25, 1924), was a professional baseball player who played 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]
