Lying four inches on height is a bad move. The first impression the coach will have is the kid is dishonest and tried to trick him. My son is 6’2” in socks so the truth wasn’t an issue. But I wouldn’t go more than an inch beyond height with cleats on.

The way for a 5’5” player to draw D1 attention is be the most noticeable player on the field. Impact the game. It will draw him a second look. Then, do it again.

A 5’5” outfielder better be running a 6.6 or better sixty. Is he?
