My son has just finished up his first season of HS baseball. He is roughly 5'10" and his 16 1/2" shins are no longer fitting. He has been using the Mizuno Pro G2 gear and really likes it. I noticed in the last couple of games that he was pulling the shins up to cover his knee. I just moved the knee pad today which helped some, but I believe he is going to need a 17" - 18" guards. Most manufactures say to measure from the center of the knee cap to the bottom of the shin...which I did and got 17 1/2". From what I can tell Mizuno and Allstar don't offer anything over 16 1/2. He is still growing, but its not like he is 6' plus either. What equipment are you guys using when the standard size doesn't get it done?
Thanks.
