To determine the meaning of "conspicuous" in the passage, we analyze the context. Pete Gray had only one arm, which made him stand out in a lineup of major league baseball players. People came from all over to watch him play, showing he was noticeable. "Warmed up" relates to preparation, "comfortable" is about ease, and "one of the shortest" is about height—none fit.
