Some of the greatest pitchers of this generation:
Jennie Finch 6',0"
Cat Osterman 6',3"
Monica Abbott 6',3
Even the great Japenese pitcher Yukiko Ueno (5'9") is well above the average women's height.
See a trend here? All things being equal: Long levers, longer stride, long fingers to better spin the ball, etc. all contribute to the effectiveness of height in the circle.
