Google says he's 5'11? Is that too short to pitch?
Most MLB pitchers, and players for that matter, are over 6 foot tall.
No itβs not too short to pitch, but less than average.
That doesn't surprise me too much. I'm just surprised at the notion that being 5'11 would require such drastic effort. I'm not doubting it, I just would've figured there were a bunch of pitchers that height with people like Randy Johnson being outliers. But I don't really watch baseball.
