>only team sports the vertically challenged can participate in

Not baseball either. You especially want your basemen tall so they can cover more ground when stretching to the plate.
>>
>>153932592
Height helps, but manlets can still be competitive, especially catchers, shortstops, and second basemen.

and are the best sports out there.

>>153932668
the best hispanic baseball player right now is an obese manlet so no lol
>>
>>153932668
No, there is 3 active will be HoFs right now that are about 5'6. Height is only nessicary in pitching for abusing reach. Even then Pedro Martinez was only 5'11.

Baseball players are actually pretty big. The average soccer player is 5'10 and 165lbs the average baseball player is 6'2 and 225 lbs

The problem is the flip side is a lot of them are fat and slow. Although multiple players have stated being fat helps them play better

You'd never guess who has historically mogged who here
>>
baseball players are tall as fuck, especially pitchers
>>
there's been lots of great hockey players who were 5'6-5'9
>>
Baseball the ideal range is 6-1 to 6-4, like most properly designed sports
>>
>>153932983
your best player is a 160cm obese chicano manlet.
>>153933039
yeah but they weren't ethnics
>>
>>153933039
like my rat :)

>>153932813
Bloatball convinced itself smashing 7 extra solo home runs and striking out 233 times is ideal offense so of course only diabetics still play
>>
somehow the glory days of baseball were a bunch of fat drunks on amphetamines
lil too much panzerschokolade there babe

there's a designated king of manlets role in volleyball

Who plays the one specialized position where height might actually be a detriment and if he couldn't play defense he'd just be a DH. Every other defensive position you prefer guys who are tall.

Really football fits more than baseball does because you'd prefer shorter running backs to taller running backs and most DBs and safeties and even some slot WRs are under 6'.
>>
>>153933183
Why are you insecure about baseball being a sport for manlets hombre
>>
>>153933183
short running backs are less able to shed tackles, naturally weaker and slower. shorter arms also means they have less reach for grabbing passed balls

>>153932983
Dude I swear nearly every pitcher for Canada at the WBC was between 6'5 and 6'8
>>
>>153935800
If he was american the sizefag scouts wouldn't have even bothered to look at him growing up because he's a manlet right hander

>>153932509
what about ice hockey
>>
>>153932651
there are outliers in every sport
>>
>>153932614
Altuve is standing on base here, right. There difference in height should be higher
>>
>>
>>153937672
Small players can excel but most of them are huge. Crosby is 5’11 but that nigga could crush a honda accord with his thighs.

hurr
>>
>>153939665
crosby is like 5'9" irl
>>
>i-it's not a sport for manlets, this one position out of 9 needs to be human height (6'1) or higher
lol
>>
>>153932735
Other than Altuve, who else is going to be a hall of famer?

>Height is only nessicary in pitching for abusing reach
It's absolutely necessary for durability if you want to be a power pitcher. Pedro was great but has like four full seasons in his entire career that didn't have several missed starts due to injury.
>>
>>153940683
Jram and Mookie (I know mookie is 5'8 but it's close)
>>
Which sport would be ideal to replace soccer/football in my life?

>A sport completely dominated by womens
>A sport where womens are superior to mens in every way
>A sport universally associated with womens
>A sport with almost no male presence
>A sport where all its most important and historical figures are womens
> sport where a man is completely incapable of beating a woman
>sports, the majority of whose audience is female.

i've just noticed hues immediately go to volleyball when people point out you have a monosport culture (which you are now bad at for over 12 years)
>>
Oh my God bruh

Football too. You don't need to be tall except for the QB
>>
>>153941097
delusional
>>
>>153941097
I don't think there's a single short olineman/dlineman
>>
>>153941124
RBs, WRs, safety, etc
>>
>>153941162
best WRs are 6'6 gigachads though
best RBs are 6'1-6'3
>>
>>153941176
RBs are like under 5'10" but built like tanks
>>
>>153941066
Yeah they're monos alright
>>
^chikaner talking to himself
>>
>>153940779
JRam is also listed at 5'8", though I didn't think he was even that short. Didn't actually think he was much shorter than Lindor in my head.

The average height in baseball is over 6 feet, retard. This is just a garbage thread.

Yordan Alvarez is 6’4” and Juan Soto is 6’1”.
