Kennie, I have to respond to you because it's too ironic not to.  I am 5'2", my husband is 5'8" (he's says 9) and our 2022 just hit 6'2". lol

Your son is definitely an outlier. When forming a 13u travel team it was an all star team of our eighteen LL district. I identified the top twenty players I felt had high school potential and secured thirteen. The idea was to train kids to become high school players. All but one played college ball at some level. He could have played college baseball. He played D1 basketball. I was more interested in the 5’2” kid with athleticism and tall parents than the player in the next paragraph.

The dad of the most dominant pitcher was perplexed I wasn’t interested. His kid was 5’8, throwing mid 70’s at 12 and never lost a game. Dad was 5’5. Mom was 5’1” The kid was cut from the high school JV team entering junior year. He was now 5’9” throwing 78.
