Question

i have to decide by next year for highschool becasue i can't do both on the highschool team. i have aq great arm for both i can get the ball out of my glove to second base in 2.1 seconds

Answer 1

You should probably try out for pitcher and see how that works out. If you have no problems, do it again the next year. If you find out it's not the thing for you, try out for catcher the next year. And you can't railroad the catcher at high school level so you don't have to worry about that.

Answer 2

Trust your gut man. But if you really want my opinion, I would say hands down pitcher. 2.1 is a great pop time for your age but your body type is much more like a pitcher. If you have a decent arm and you put on a few pounds you will get noticed. Especially if you keep getting taller. You should get a lot farther as a pitcher. But even still, trust your gut.

Answer 3

First of all kiddo God bless you, sounds like you are on your way to some success in baseball, at 6'3 with a solid arm my suggestion is to concentrate on the pitching, making sure you do plenty of leg work and you need to bulk up at a slow pace with high protein foods and carbs, sounds like your metabolism is out of sight.You may also want to be working with a trainer or a strength coach. Stay away from throwing too many breaking pitches and use your fastball and straight change more this will save your arm and put less stress on it. Best wishes and Good Luck

Answer 4

Don't listen to any of these fools kid, you need to hit the weight room hard starting next offseason, and DO Not throw curve balls untill you are 16 because you will develop tendonitits in your shoulder and tom jon in your elbow, develop speed with your 4 seam and become a 2 seam and changeup pitcher for now as a pitcher, long toss and develop your arm before throwing offspead trash, and you will become a great D1 prospect

Answer 5

That's easy---pitcher. If you are any good and want to continue your career in to college, pitching is the place to be. Schools offer more scholarships to pitchers and they will take way more chances on a tall kid with a good arm. Anyway, stick to pitching.

Answer 6

if ur 6' 3 theres no way ur ever going to be a catcher. if you are a good hitter and can pick a ball then you should be a 1st basemen. coachs love tall guys for 1st base so you wanna move there

Answer 7

In all honesty, it comes down to a matter of which one you prefer. Remember that as you go on, pitchers get fewer and fewer chances to bat. So wuld you prefer being a pitcher and seldom (if ever) batting, or being a catcher and having your at-bats?

Answer 8

6'3"-135? You must be a twig. Better stick with pitcher, cause the big boys will knock you over like a bowling pin.

Answer 9

the final rule is one hundred pounds for the first 5 ft and 5 pounds for each extra inch, so for you one hundred and twenty pounds. For men this is 106 pounds for the first 5 ft and six pounds for each inch. there's a venture for peole who do serious weight practise because muscle is dense compared to this is volume, so the burden calculation might want to practice you as overweight, once you're not to any extent further. in case you do lots of exercising, use a BMI calculator. (body-mass index)

Answer 10

Unless you can throw high-80's with control, catcher is probably best suited for you.
