That threw 97 MPH with movement and command....and would not be pitching in 1933. There was not a pitcher in MLB in 1978 that possessed what Pedro had.
Five ten is not five three. Edited to add that he was 5 '11.
Size alone does not make someone good. It has to be coupled with velocity, command, and everything else.
Do you really believe that Don Drysdale would be 'Don Drysdale' if he maintained his velocity and everything else, but was only five foot five instead of six foot five??
