Cary, North Carolina is where every D2 player wants to finish their season. Home to the USA Baseball National Training Complex as well as the NCAA D2 World Series. This is where teams from Arkansas to California met this year to find who is the National Champion for the NCAA D2 level. I went through every team’s roster to find the average height & weight of each position of each team, plus the entire D2 World Series. The average regular season record for teams who made the D2 World Series in 2022 was 47-13, with the average player height/weight of 72 inches & 189.3 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 & 177.8 lbs where the corner infielders and catchers are the heavy hitters with an avg of 72.6 inches & 197.5 lbs. The speedy guys in the outfield finish it out with 72.1 inches as an avg height and 189.9 lbs. Numbers in bold represent the that being the biggest in the World Series for that category.
