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

Braden Montgomery 6’2/220
Gavin Grahovac 6’2/220
Jace LaViolette 6’6/230
Jackson Appel 6’0/200

Ted Burton 6’3/200

Congratulations to @BASEBALLKHS for topping the 2024 Class 5 Academic All State team list and to the 12 players who made the individual list. I love to see the dedication you have on the field carries over to the classroom! Keep up the good work.
Our @PortersBuilding Player of the Game this week against Park Hill South was Chase Porter! Chase had a double, triple, and a great play in the outfield to keep the Bulldogs from giving up any runs in the first inning. Great job Chase!
Just had a close encounter with two bald eagles. Bald eagles were near extinction when I was a kid so to see them on my property is amazing. I’m pretty sure there is a nest somewhere close. #baldeagles#GodBlessAmerica
‘25 | OF | Chase Porter (@BASEBALLKHS; @LouisvilleBSB commit)
Gets the head out and sends a solo 💣 out to right to give the Bulldogs the 1-0 lead in the 1st.
Quick twitch athlete and elite runner.
