There is always the argument 'all things being equal' - but that is not ever going to be the case.
True. And there are some cases where a larger athlete better suited for the position, but in general, physics still favors the smaller flyer. So, unless this smaller athlete is uncoachable and a hot mess in the air, I'd rather invest the time in teaching her the correct technique, so she becomes an asset to the team, rather than pushing the bases to lift someone who is much heavier. Even those who argue that larger is better know that there is a limit to how large. Why? Because there is such thing as too large and too heavy. Where that limit is depends on the bases.
Agreed!
