Lewiston, Idaho is where every NAIA player wants to finish their season. Harris Field Home to Lewis–Clark State College as well as the NCAA D2 World Series.  This is where teams from Florida to Washington met this year to find who is the National Champion for the NAIA level.  I went through every team’s roster to find the average height & weight of each position of each team, plus the entire NAIA World Series. The average regular season record for teams who made the NAIA World Series in 2022 was 49-13, with the average player height/weight of 71.9 inches & 190.2 lbs. When splitting down to the positions though we will see the splits of what different positions require are looking for.  Middle infielders are the smallest on the field on average with an avg of 71.1 inches & 176.7 lbs where the corner infielders and catchers are the heavy hitters with an avg of 72.5 inches & 198.8 lbs.  The speedy guys in the outfield finish it out with 71.9 inches as an avg height and 191.3 lbs. Numbers in bold represent the that being the biggest in the World Series for that category.
