Jonathan Roy Broxton (born June 16, 1984, in
Augusta, Georgia), nicknamed "The Ox," and "The
Biggest Man In The World" by former Cub and current
Arizona Diamondbacks announcer Mark Grace, is a
Major League Baseball pitcher for the Los Angeles
Dodgers. He bats and throws right handed.
A prototypical fireballer, the 6'3" 288-pound
Broxton features an overwhelming fastball, and is
widely considered the heir apparent to Dodgers
closer Takashi Saito.
On June 26, 2007 Broxton hurled a 101.0 mph
fastball.
