Wow! Your question has generated alot of replies.
Thats part of why the HSBBW is as great as it is. Alot of people from various walks of life, with players interest at heart!
I am an believer in making dreams happen and going against the odds.
If you concede to those that tell you," you have no chance ", then chances are you won't.
If there is a will, there can be a way, but with that comes extreme hard work and only Y-O-U know if you have what it takes inside of you.
Almost impossible to give you an honest assessment without having seen your ability,..and even then,...it would be just a guess, or a matter of opinion coming from lil' ol' moi' ( I'm just a shortstopmom and not a recruiting coach ).
But,...here's what I have to offer you. If you want it, you have to make it happen. You have to committt 100% to going after your dream.
Don't wait for strangers to give you their opinion if they think you have a chance or not.
Dont be hung up about size,....make it a non-issue, and play well.
( Last time I checked, no one was interested in a batter's height or size of his bicep, the last time he hit a triple! )
IMHO, results are what coaches look for.
Knock on coaches doors.
Make calls to baseball offices.
Ask for a tryout or evaluation.
Dont take no for an answer. Beg, plead, bake cookies ( ha!)....
Email the coaches and tell them of your desires and interest to play at the next level.
Hit every division you can think of.
Email them a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time. If possible, go to their camp or a showcase.
Send them your Spring schedule and ask them to come take a look at you.
Keep moving until you can get someone to take interest.

Gotta change your way of thinking.
From now on,... "FEAR" is a four letter word.
If I were you, I'd make a point to take it out of my vocabulary.
Think positive.
Say to yourself, " I will make it !!!! ".
Remember, baseball is is a mental game as well as a physical game.
Work harder than any other on your team, both on and off the field.
Go for it kid. Dont worry about chances or odds. Worry about making your dream happen!
I wish you the very very best!! PM me any time, and I would be glad to help you in your persuit of knocking on recruiting college doors!
Get movin' kiddo,....you got work ta' do!!
