Mine is 5'5.5" somewhere around 135. Also played power forward in HS basketball, so she was used to being smaller then her opposition. Don't have to be big, just tough.

Mine is 12 and 5'5- 98lbs. I am praying she grows another few inches but I doubt she will.

Sounds a bit like mine.

At least the, 12 yo, 5' 6", possibly 95 pounds soaking wet.

I on the other hand expect her to top out over 6' as older DD is 6' 1", DS is 6' 5" at least, and mom is 6' 3"

As soon as the little one passes me I will officially be known as shorty in the family at an even 6'.

5'-8" 130# Senior at SC. Other pitchers on team are 6'-0" and 6'-2" so she is on the shorter end of the spectrum.


I think that 5'7"- 5'8" range is where height isn't as much of a factor. They're big enough to throw as fast, or in your DD's case, faster than anyone else. It is funny seeing 5'8" referenced as short. She'd be one of the taller girls even on a basketball team.

Same situation here. I’m just barely taller than DD and son has 4” on me. Wife is the midget at 6’1”
