Height and weight are correlated with certain skills in the game, when players are created, so players should "look right" - power hitters are heavier than speedsters, for example. And weight changes accompany skill changes - increases in weight accompany declines in defensive ability, for example. But besides the impact of height on pitcher stamina, I'm not sure there are other direct influences on the game. That is, if you create a new player, and make him 9 feet tall, he'll play the same as a 4 foot tall guy with the same ratings.

edit - oh, there's one other exception for sure. In OOTP14, as part of the new defensive model, player height has a direct impact on a player's ability to field at 1B.
