Thought this was interesting. These are the stats of this years pitchers at my Alma Mater. See a common theme? 9 of the 16 are over 6’ 2" and 210 lbs. All over 190lbs and the shortest is 5’11 (a lefty). I often wonder if the no windup/balance point delivery that is taught has forced the game to go bigger in order to create the force to deliver the velocity everyone is searching for. F = MxA
