B. J. Wallace

B. J. Wallace was a pitcher who played for the USA at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. In a game against Italy, Wallace struck out 14 batters, an Olympic record at the time. Wallace played in college at Mississippi State University. He was the third overall pick of the 1992 MLB Draft, chosen by the Montreal Expos.

Wallace played in the minor leagues from 1993-97 but never made it to the majors. He was released by the Red Sox in 1997 spring training. Wallace later became a high school baseball coach.

Wallace had some problems with the law after his baseball career. He was once arrested for driving under the influence, although he was acquitted, and had several other traffic violations. Most seriously, in 2011, he and his wife, Amber Sheree McKenzie, were arrested in Loxley, Alabama, and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine at their home.
