With the season winding down to a close I wanted to cover the last couple of divisions in this series. Let’s take a look at the “average looking” guys on each staff.

Chicago Cubs

Here’s a scatter plot of their 40-man roster pitching staff

Somewhere in the middle of this graph, you will find a 6’4″ and 215 lbs Julian Merryweather.

Julian is a little heavier than the average so here’s another guy who wasn’t on their roster to start the spring, Jose Cuas. He is anything but average in regard to his story and his delivery. But at 6’3″ and 195 lbs he would also be in the middle of that scatter plot.

This table tells us the average, min, and max for height, weight, and BMI.

Cincinnati Reds

The Reds, as a staff, are 10 lbs heavier than their rivals from the North Side of Chicago. Here are a couple of pitchers that we can consider to be average.

Alex Young at 6’3″ and 200 lbs

Lucas Sims at 6’2″ and 213 lbs

Milwaukee Brewers

Joel Payamps is 6’2″ and 217 lbs. On the active roster, he’s about as average as it gets from a height and weight perspective.

This table has the average, min, and max for height, weight, and BMI.

St. Louis Cardinals

The most “average” height and weight combo I could find was 6’2″ and 215 lbs. There are 3 pitchers, all lefties, on their active roster who share these stats.

Zack Thompson

Drew Rom

John King

Pittsburg Pirates

The Pirates have the biggest staff in the division. Their staff average is 6’3″ and 215 lbs. Mitch Keller and Andre Jackson best represent this average. They are both 6’3″ with Andre being 5 lbs lighter than the average at 210 lbs while Mitch is 5 lbs heavier at 220 lbs.
