As the father of two short softball players, i find this thread very interesting! Because DD#2 stopped growing at 5'-2", I am always looking for short players on the best teams. It seems that there is no shortage of short players (no pun intended) and that many of the top DI teams have a player or two in the 5'-0" - 5'-2" range.
Last night I was watching a recording of last years WCWS and OU's SS was 5'-2" (same height as DD#2) Carlee Wallace is down there too. Bama has had (2) players UNDER 5'-0" - one of them (Kelly Montalvo?)is still playing in the NPF. one of the pitchers for GA this year (Bass?) was close to 5'-0".
A few years ago, I asked Sue Enquist about whether or not my 5'-2" DD would ever have a chance to pitch in college or should we give up on pitching and focus on playing positions. she said that during her years at UCLA, the (2) best pitchers on her teams were under 5'-6". "If she wants it, let her go for it! thats what is great about softball, there is room for everyone!"
