I hope you'll reconsider this feature. There seems to be no evidence at all that height has any effect on stamina. And how does this idea factor in to historical baseball? Don't have data to back it up (Time.com sez "Skeletons and written records show that human beings today are inches taller than humans just a century or two ago." if that means anything), but my understanding is that the general population is taller now than it was 100 years ago. And yet in those days it was common for these generally shorter starting pitchers to go 9. The idea of tying stamina to height really doesn't seem to have anything going for it.
