The sport is being played by bigger, stronger athletes. Can a small fast player make it? Yes but they are far and few between and are rarely seen anymore. They also need to be a ridiculous player. 6'1 210-225 is an average size for a lax player at the higher levels. Not hard to look this up, check out any college roster and you will see the #s
Matt Cavanaugh was considered tiny at 5'8" 175lbs. He was dominant. Dillan Molloy is listed at 6' 220 lbs. Lots of leg strength.
So 2 out of 3000 players? What?? Name 300 and you have an argument. C'mon now
looked at syracuse, hopkins, maryland, UNC and all had 15-20 players under 6 feet tall. Cavanaugh, bitter, sankey, manny, pannell. Those are just a few of the elite MLL players that come to mine. Bigger is better all other things being equal. And players today are bigger than they we in 70,80, 90s - but you could say the same about most sports.
