my son's team has two kids about 5'8" / 5'6" MIF / Out field, both give the team 125% every game and Hit the ball very well..

Do you think they hit the ball very well because they put in effort? Or do you think they hit the ball well because they have talent?

I've seen thousands of players have a lot of passion and put a lot of effort into the game. Only a small handful reach the highest level. Talent comes first, always. Once a player has talent, work ethic can help to separate him from some of his peers. But that really doesn't have much to do with size.
