What is the ideal height for 1B as have never taken this into consideration when retraining a player here?
Somewhere over 6'. It really is a huge factor. Test out the formula by adding or subtracting 2-3 cm (1"=2.54 cm) and see what happens. Brandon Belt is the top defensive 1B in the game because he's both good and a giant.

If you dig into the formulas, here's essentially the breakdown of order of value each stat is to each position.

1B: Height > Range > Error (Arm and DP are almost worthless)
2B: Range >> Error = DP > Arm
SS: Range >> Error = DP > Arm
3B: Arm > Range >> Error > DP

LF: Range >>> Arm > Error
CF: Range >>>>> Error > Arm (Arm is almost worthless, very heavily range influenced here)
RF: Range > Arm >> Error
