Reply to "The Height Factor"

Hmmmm...I didn't think that this subject or my answer to the first posting was so "difficult" to understand.

The first post talked about a 5'11" pitcher at the Area Code Games.

All I said was that size matters and scouts are looking for height if velocity and command are the same.

I'm only 6'tall. My son is not a pitcher but is 6'2"+. Scouts said that they "like" his size...."he's tall enough" is a common message.

If you don't believe that size matters, then that is fine. I'm not trying to convince anyone. I just happen to believe, based on my experiences, in high school baseball circles, when kids are being considered for play at the next level, size matters...nothing more and nothing less.
