Metrics for fourteen year olds will be al over the place. A fourteen year old might be 5’2 or 6’2”. I wasn’t worried when my son was 5’4” 120 in 14u when he was 13u eligible (playing grade appropriate). I figured if he was an above average player at 5’4” his talent was about to explode.

Exactly! My son was about this size at 14 and had nothing to showcase, his teammate was a LHP who stood 5'-10", threw 85 and committed to the #1 team in the country. Three years later the LHP was 5'-10", threw 85 and was told to find a new home. My son was 6'-2" and on his way to play D1 baseball.
