Loek Van Mil

Not sure whether this player is the tallest in pro baseball history, but he must come close. He is 7'1" tall. An article in 2012, when he was a non-roster invitee with the Los Angeles Angels, said he was the tallest player in pro baseball at the time. He also appeared in a big league camp in 2010, as he was on the Minnesota Twins' spring roster that year.

The attached photo is from a website called alchetron.com. The shorter Twins player was not identified. As noted in his baseball-reference entry, Loek is from the Netherlands, and was still an active pro player in 2016.
