Not sure where you’re getting this info from, because it’s horribly wrong. Per Baseball Reference, corroborated by Savant: - Rich Hill is not an active MLB player - Verlander weighs 240 - Scherzer weighs 208 - Martin is 39yo, 6’8” - Santana is 40yo, 5’10” 210lb Leaving aside that you’re calling 43yo/6’5”/240lb “old and fat”—that’s below average BMI even before accounting for BMI not accurately representing the fatness of elite athletes

Pitchers stand there for a lot of the game and need to be tall to throw so it makes sense that most of your list are pitchers past their prime.
