3. Rougned Odor

Pitchers don’t even have to imagine what would happen if they piss off Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor. He already showed the world what happens when you tick him off back in 2015. Ask Jose Bautista what happens, in case you haven’t heard.

The scary thing is, 2015 wasn’t the first time Odor messed somebody up over something petty.

He might be lacking in height, but he’s like a pitbull. Odor has no fear and doesn’t care who you are, he’ll punch you in the face regardless. In each of these instances, he didn’t even get a running start. If Odor starts charging the mound, the pitcher should probably run for his or her life.

Odor’s only 5’11” and 195 pounds, but he packs a very powerful punch, as Bautista found out the hard way. Perhaps the scariest thing about him is he might decide to charge the mound over nothing. Odor started a fight for very petty reasons back in the minors. He punched Bautista in the face over a hard slide. Imagine what Odor would do if someone threw anywhere near his face. The Rangers second baseman is one scary dude and isn’t a player you’d like to piss off.
