Reply to "Pitcher Height"

Which brings in mind another question. How much trust can we put in the listed height of pitchers in the amateur ranks? My wife and I had this argument over the weekend. My son is almost exactly 6' 4" in bare feet. When registering him for a showcase organization, she listed him at 6' 5" because "everybody fibs by an inch or so" and "he's 6' 5" in shoes." It got heated. I've been of the opinion that it matters that his height be accurately listed. We've all seen the kid listed at 6' 2" that is appreciably smaller than his teammates that we know are only 6' 0." She, OTOH, believes that if a recruiter/scout sees 6' 4" he's automatically thinking the kid is really 6' 2."
