Category talk:Philippines National Team Players

The first four players in this category are all either 5' 6" or 5' 7". That is highly unusual in baseball, especially considering that two of them are pitchers. Look at the average European, American, Korean, Japanese, Australian, etc. national team and most pitchers are at least 6'. Is the average height in the Philippines that low compared to the rest of the world or are there so few baseball players that men of average height get picked? - --Mischa 20:35, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

This is our 5th Asian country to 50, seven years after China was the 4th. - --Mischa (talk) 11:26, 11 February 2016 (EST)
