Seems like it, right? According to a coaching contact I have up there, we also have an offer out to a Creighton Prep pitcher who touches the low 90s. This is supposedly a record year for Division 1 baseball commitments out of the state of Nebraska.Originally posted by SHOCKvalue View PostComment

I like the format that Butler used - pretty informative. It looks like some of them we might be waiting to see who we lose through the draft.Originally posted by RoyalShock View PostComment

Those are some tall pitchers. I know height doesn't equate to pitching ability just staring an observation. Never saw a height challenged person pitch in the big leagues.Comment

There certainly aren't many. Tim Collins for the Royals is 5'7".Originally posted by pogo View PostComment

Whitey Ford was 5'10". Perhaps not totally vertically challenged but a pretty normal sized man.Originally posted by pogo View Post
Here are a handful of short people who pitched in the majors:
I do remember Bobby Shantz, all 5'6" and 139lbs of him.

Not to judge without seeing him play, but we signed a guy that hit .265 in high school?Comment
