If there is no height requirment what is the new requirment of the strike zone size?

There is no minimum height required to play major league baseball. After the Eddie Gaedel trick pulled by the great Bill Veeck, baseball didn't ban midgets - they just changed the minimum height of the strike zone.
I believe the height requirement idea is just a myth.

They all have different preferences. I'm 5'9 and I have no problem getting girls. In fact, I've attracted every girl that got to know me for at least a year. No joke. Id say the safe height is 6 ft. It doesnt matter though dude.

There is no height requirement, nor is there a minimum size for the strike zone. After the Gaedel incident, the commissioner's office decreed that all player contracts were subject to review by the commissioner.
