Coaches want the kids who can hit the long ball. The smaller kids have a disadvantage no matter what everyone wants to say.
My older son has more talent than my middle but he is 17 years old 5'9 3/4" and my middle is 6'2" freshman. The younger can hit the home run and the older gets the base hits. Guess who everyone talks about.
Size matters. But you can make up for it with hustle and heart.
I will agree with above. When you have nothing to get better at, you might as well quit.

I agree with your statement that hustle and heart can make up for size. Our starting varsity 2nd basemen is 5ft nothing and 80lbs soaking wet. Biggest heart on the team.
