Also, how much of a difference are we talking in OOTP? Is it like taller pitchers are more likely to be created with a 7 or 8 (1-10 scale) stamina and short one more around 5 - 6 or will the difference in stamina be miniscule?

And what is considered tall/short in OOTP? 6 ft and above for tall and 5'11" and below for short?
I agree with the arguments. Maybe stamina is not quite what we think of as what height would affect yet it makes sense for the game. Taller pitchers have some advantages. The advantage is probably more on stuff. A lot of people seemed to think Randy Johnson's size helped him on the mound. So if there is an apparent correlation between height and being a SP the game is getting it right here even if it stamina is the wrong mechanism. Stamina might be the easiest way to convey this without mucking up RPs and CLs.
