Mine was 5'6 145 as a freshman. He grew to 5'9' 185 as a senior. His lack of height didn't stop him from having the strongest arm in the outfield, one of the top three fastest on the team who got great jumps on balls in the OF and hit with good power to all fields and hit in the heart of the order.

I never got obcessed with height like many who seem to. I knew my kid would not be as tall as me but could play ball though.

However, it does seem others got closer looks because of their height despite the lack of talent. When my kid got his chance to earn the starting job, he had to prove it and maintain a high level of play to keep that starting spot.
