Reply to "How short is too short?"

I am not really sure what to say at this point... the physics are NOT flawed and it is actually pretty simple. Again you are citing an extremely small sample size not to mention they have all made it to the pinnacle of their profession. Look at the bigger picture... how many of each height in mlb. Contrast that to percentage of males overall who are those various heights. If height (and really wingspan is what matters. I don2 know but I would guess some of these shorter pitchers have freakishly long wingspans) were really not a factor the MAJORITY of mlb pitchers would be under 6'0" tall just like the general population! It is absurd to think that taller pitchers don't have a major advantage. Hopefully I am misunderstanding your point. Hopefully you are not trying to say that height is not a hugely important advantage for a pitcher.
