Reply to "If height and weight don't matter, then why?"

It does make you wonder what the best course of action is...my guy is 5'11", if I list him as 6' does he not look better on paper? And, knowing that it is a common practice...if he lists himself as 5'11" does that make folks believe he may be 5'9"?

And are we talking about with cleats on, on a hard surface?



FOR THE RECORD THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PG, THIS IS BASEBALL IN GENERAL

Baseballdad1228 with all due respect, if your son is 6' plus legit it does not matter. If my kid was 6'2" I would be thrilled and height would never enter my mind again, check that one off, yep he's got height! If my kid runs a 6.8 I don't worry about speed, yep hes's fast, check that one off!

But, if your kid is a pitcher and 5'10" and he's 16, I bet you are hoping he hasn't hit his growth spurt yet!

I keep telling myself that Scandinavians take longer to grow, LOL! Heck I was still growing until I was 23. If fact I seem to still be growing, but no longer vertically!

And, thank you PGStaff for your detailed response, your presence and input on this site are definately appreciated and valued by me.
