I do not buy that....the shorter guy would be more agile on average and thus better on all low throws in general.
Don't get me wrong, I am not disagreeing that height is a good thing in a first baseman, just that, like left-handed shortstops, when it becomes dogma, it is not so useful of an idea.....
