Not only is James Wood the 2nd-tallest RF after Aaron Judge at 6'6", but per @WeatherApplied, Juan Soto's robbed HR here was blown in 3 feet (and 6 feet right) by the wind and would've cleared the fence about 4 feet higher in calm conditions
Soto robbed by height and the weather

With pitch arsenals getting bigger and bigger, you don't see a lot of 3-pitch starting pitchers these days. And you *really* don't see 3-pitch starters who don't throw a 4-seamer.
