I Seems the only way a guy under six foot could get into the majors was as a pitcher.
Hard to believe that was ever true, it sure as heck ain't the case now.
I always thought one of the beauties of baseball was that you didn't have to be big to be good. I want to believe that is still true, but it sure has to help to be big. In the case of pitchers, it is well-nigh mandatory.
I was 6 feet tall and weighed about 135 and pitched in D-1 as a walk-on. That doesn't happen anymore.
