Independence Knights S & C

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.
