Height and weight do matter, more so height in a pitcher. A lot of scouts look for taller pitchers because they have lower fly ball tendencies and thus give up less home runs. Markus directly related height to stamina as well. For example, Royals prospect Yordano Ventura is an electric arm but a lot of scouts are wary if he can end up starting because he's not even 6 feet tall, and gives up his fair share of home runs.

Weight affects speed, obviously. Doesn't take an OOTP addict to figure that one out.
