My guess (that could be checked with the data) is there is a relationship between height/weight and power. Like you suggest, not all tall people have power, so weight is another variable to consider.

There are a lot of variables beyond height that determine the success of a particular position but I still found the data to be interesting. Thanks for the comment, G.C.

The corners are traditionallly power positions yet 3B employs the shortest average height of any position other than 2B and SS. Since height often coincides with power, I am a bit suprised that 3B ranks so low. Interesting data as always. What's most interesting to me are the results at 3B.
