Does a player's height and/or weight matter?
I have a top prospect 2B that is 6'2", but only 130 lbs. That seems really skinny to me. Is this a cosmetic only piece of data, or will this impact his performance?

IIRC Height affects pitchers ratings. Not sure if there are any other effects.

One of the developers mentioned that height is a factor in the First Base defense rating, which is touched-on above.
So, I think there are a number of subtle ways that these attributes impact the game, that may not jump-out at first; sort of one of those *modern-edge* things in OOTP that can be explored and experimented with. Last edited by Calvert98; 03-15-2020 at 10:15 PM. Reason: added info |

It impacts performance to a certain degree and definitely player development. Overweight players age earlier and lose their defensive abilities much faster.
