I saw some chatter here last week about most pitchers in college ball being 5'11" to 6' tall, so I took a look at the rosters of the teams ranked 1-9 in DI and of Oregon, which was ranked #11 (#10 Kentucky did not list player heights).
Here's what I saw:
* Of the 49 players listed as pitchers the average height is 5'9"
* 12 or 24.5% were 6 foot or taller (3 of them play for OK)
* 6 or 12.2% were 5' 5" or shorter with the shortest being 5' 3"
The average height of a woman in the US is 5'4"
So, pitchers tend to be tall, but perhaps not as tall as we imagine sometimes.
