From chatgpt

"矮子里拔将军" is a Chinese idiom that means "out of the common lot emerges a general," or "a talented person can stand out even among the mediocre."

To translate it in a more expressive way, you could say something like "A mighty general from among the dwarfs," or "A hero who rises above the rest."

Lesser evil

应该是＂矮子里面拔大个＂吧？矮子与大个是反意词。

瞧瞧人家拿破仑，矮子与将帅，不矛盾。
