Surprised to see that there is only 1 more pitcher over 6 foot then there are 5'6" and less

It would be interesting to see the pitching speeds based on height.

How about Ryan Iamurri who plays for Alabama? She's 4'10".

I'm pretty sure there is a lady <5' on Alabama's roster, or used to be. Think she was right at 4'10" or 4'11". I don't think she would have graduated yet, but could be wrong.

EDIT..

Just found it.

32 Ryan Iamurri Infielder 4-10 JR Naples, Fla. (Naples)

Good catch on Iamurri. When I transferred the data over to Excel, the players' heights (5-7) were converted into dates (May 7). When I manually changed them back heights, I changed Iamurri to 5-10 instead of 4-10. I went back and made sure that I didn't make that mistake on any others, and I don't believe that I did.

Thanks!

That's awesome. My 8 YO is 4' 9" :lol:

 

[sluggers]

The average height of all US woman over the age of 20 is right at 5'4".

For all SEC softball players:

Mean: 5'7"
Median: 5'7"
Mode: 5'7"

For SEC pitchers:

Mean: 5'9"
Median: 5'9"
Mode: 5'10"

If I have time, I'd like to do other conferences. I'm sure that height data won't change much, but I'm mostly interested in what states are producing players to the major D-1 conferences.

I'd have to add Pac 12, Big 12, Big 10, ACC, maybe Big East. Any others?

Please do the Pac-12 next...
