At 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m), 225 lb (102 kg), Ripken was a departure from the standard shortstop of the time—small, fleet-of-foot players who played a defensively difficult position but often did not post the home run and batting average totals that an outfielder might. Ripken broke many records over his baseball career and received many honors to match. In 2021, Ripken served as the Mission Speaker at the ZERO Prostate Cancer Summit
