My issue with it isn't that I'm disputing that it's what we see in reality, but that do we really need to go there? If 5'10 and under pitchers aren't even drafted then why not just make the game create a lot less of them? And honestly, I don't even know if this isn't the case already and if it is, why go propagating this fallacy at all?
Can I easily ignore it? Yeah, I pay no attention to height and weight as it is so it shouldn't be difficult to continue doing that, but I just don't like the idea that OOTP is joining the crowd with the perception that short people are necessarily inferior. If scouts opened their minds more I wouldn't be surprised to see more 5'10 and under pitchers.
To admit my own prejudice, maybe a big part of my annoyance is that stamina was picked to represent this decrease in potential. I don't know about you guys, but as an over 6'0 person myself I often look at short people as having more stamina than me. I probably wouldn't have even blinked if stuff was chosen as it'd be rare to feel out-powered by a short person.
At the end of the day, though, I agree it is only a minor annoyance. I'd much rather we put more effort into further customizing playoff options.
