Height does have bearing on 1B fielding ability. It's not massive but it's there. That said, if a player is good enough to play any other infield position he's almost certainly going to be good enough to play first unless he's like 4'10" or something.1B is far easier to pick up aptitude at than any other position in the infield (or the team, really).
