The Shortest MLB Players, Ranked

For fans of Major League Baseball, size does not necessarily correlate with skill and performance. Thus, it's time to put the spotlight on the shortest MLB players who have defied the odds, in a list ranked by fan votes. This is not just about listing players based on height; we're showing respect to these athletes who stand as giants in their performance on the field, despite their smaller frames. Their agility, quick hands, and impressive athleticism truly make them fan favorites.

There are several active players in Major League Baseball making huge waves despite their shorter stature. Consider José Altuve, standing at just 5'6'', this Houston Astros second baseman plays with relentless dynamism both offensively and defensively. Mookie Betts, another 5'9'' power player, continually impresses fans with his all-around abilities as an outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers. José Ramirez, a versatile 5'9'' third baseman for the Cleveland Guardians, is also one to watch due to his powerful hits. Captivating audiences with his agile maneuvering, Ozzie Albies is a mere 5'8'' second baseman with the Atlanta Braves. Sharing the same height, Marcus Stroman poses as an intimidating starting pitcher for the New York Mets. And let's not forget Cedric Mullins at a compact 5'8'' making a big impression with his breakthrough performance as an outfielder for the Baltimore Orioles. Each of these remarkable athletes excels in their roles, demonstrating that height doesn't define talent or success in Major League Baseball.

While they are all petite in size, these players have unique, special qualities and skills that set them apart from one another. From their fielding positions to their particular strengths when batting or sprinting, each player provides something essential to their respective teams that they probably won't get from anywhere else.
