You have stated that you look much younger than you are. Five years I think you said. That means you look 14. That has nothing to do with your height. I work with two umps that are 5'9" if they are that tall (5'6" is probably more accurate). They are 50+ years old, and look it. No one thinks they are 25 because they are short.

When you are short you must carry yourself different. It's already been said, but field presence is what makes the difference.

You are confusing height and age. How old you look could make a difference, how tall you are shouldn't. I'm not disputing what you stated (advancement, pay etc - I've never seen anything on the subject) - but you are blaming looking young on height - those two are not related, IMHO.
