It is good to hear success stories. My son is a 5'10", 160+ lb. stud shortstop who turns thirteen this fall. I have read on this site over and over how the 12 year old studs have no chance to play HS ball. It makes me a little nervous. But in his defense, his Grandpa was 6'5" and his 8 uncles are 6'2" to 6'6". Lets hope he keeps growing and improving. Height seems to be the key to success.
