Hi,
> > I am 14 years old and I am very small. Even though I'm small, I hit nice line drives and hard hits, but I have hardley any power. I do have a membership to a gym, and am going to start working out more. I also have grown a couple of inches over the past 2 or 3 months. I am still only about 5'1 or 5'2 though. My question is: Will I still continue to grow and maybe grow a little more rapidly or will I stop? I haven't really hit my big growth spurt yet and I'm thinking this might be it. I hope I am bigger and stronger by the beginning of high school season so I can hit for more power. Anyone's "anaylisis" will be appreciated.

> kevin...i don't know if i can be much help....i don't know much about growth spurts (how predictable they might be)......and by the way, i didn't mean to suggest that small players can not have power....i only meant that it sometimes could be a contributing factor....my best advice would be what i sugested to sam: send jack a video of your swing and have him analyze it.......sorry i can't be of much help.....grc....>>>>>>>>>>Son I see many young kids com into h.s. as freshman skinny,intimidated and weak,yet with hard work by your senior year I'm sure you will be much stronger,put on some weight more confidence and agility.Cannot promise you will be a Mark Mcgwire.
