[Langs] If at some point the Brewers start Caleb Durbin at 3B + Jett Williams at SS in a MLB game, they would be the 1st team to start a 3B & SS both 5 ft 7 in or shorter in a game since:
7/8/1933 Reds
SS Sparky Adams, 5 ft 5 in
3B Andy High, 5 ft 6 in

We do have some short kings

I wonder if there’s some sort of analytics behind shorter players having smaller strike zones (the ABS system adjusts based on height) so by having shorter players who command the strike zone well it puts just a little more pressure on a starting pitcher to be accurate.

Seems like a Brewersy organzational philosophy.
To add, [6 of our 8 infielders and half our outfield is 6′ or under too](https://www.espn.com/mlb/team/roster/_/name/mil/sort/height/dir/asc/milwaukee-brewers).
Short Kings merch coming soon
More like Andy Low…
Trying to find half our lineup from the cheap seats…
Love our short kings but the name factor is not quite as good as the ‘33 reds.
Can we have a moment, please, for some of those epic 1933 player names – Pinky, Chick, Rabbit, Shanty…..
