The average height and weight of the teams in Omaha is 6’2/205. This is generally pulled down by freshmen on the bench or an outlier pitcher.
The teams that are winning have very few, if any, players in their starting lineup under 200 pounds.
The teams going 0-2 or 1-2 at the CWS have several players under 200 pounds.
There are a couple outlier infielders that are 5’10/185 or so. FSU’s smallest starter is 6’1/188.
But 195-200 is generally the cutoff weight at any of the 8 defensive positions. Any player under those weights is not in the starting lineup.
The amount of 6’2/220, 6’3/230, 6’4/240, 6’5/250 players is staggering - up and down the lineup of the SEC schools.
Here’s a sample:
Florida
Jac Cag 6’5 / 250
Catchers
Brody Donay 6’5 / 235
Luke Heyman 6’4 / 220
Tennessee Christian Moore that hit for the cycle 6’1/215.
Blake Burke 6’3/235
Billy Amick INF 6’1/217
Kavares Tears 6’0/200
One of the “lightest” players I’ve found is FSUs INF Alex Lodise at 6’1/188. A few Kentucky and North Carolina infielders were a little smaller.
More FSU position player starters:
Drew Faurot INF 6’3/202.
Jaime Ferrer OF 6’1/220
Max Williams 6’2/198
James Tibbs 6’0/204
Cam Smith 6’3/230
Daniel Cantu 6’3/219
Marco Dinges 6’0/194
Texas AM
Braden Montgomery 6’2/220
Gavin Grahovac 6’2/220
Jace LaViolette 6’6/230
Jackson Appel 6’0/200
Hayden Schott 6’2/220
Ted Burton 6’3/200
Bonus SEC South Carolina
Ethan Petry (SC) 6’4 / 235
Gavin Casas (SC) 6’4/230
Cole Messina (SC) 6’0/230
Blake Jackson (SC) 6’0/195
Kennedy Jones (SC) 6’1/220

The Lords will try to lock up the #2 playoff seed at Kinsmen Stadium on Tuesday, Oct. 10 with a huge DHer (4pm and 6:30pm) vs. rival Humber Hawks. Come on down to Sr. day at the Ball yard and cheer on our graduating players in their final home stand.
Game #1 vs GB Huskies, Lords come away with a 4-3 victory thanks to a two run blast by Cruz Lopez and gritty pitching performances by the dynamic duo of Nick King and Chuck Roy.
It's been an unbelievable emotional roller coaster these past couple of months but I'm very grateful for the time my wife and I had together and the subsequent kind words and support I've received upon her passing. Much love. @DurhamLords
