I'm 17 and i'm 6"1', im also a lefty pitcher, will i grow height wise anymore?

Question

Im about to enter college next week and i have a good fastball (78) and a good changeup. I want to be more of a prospect so do u think i will grow height wise anymore because the taller i am the more i stand out when i tryout for teams?

Answer 1

we don't know you man, go ask ur doctor this question

Answer 2

You are quite tall already, just be glad you are over 6 feet I have a few friends that wish to be that tall.

Answer 3

your heights fine, but you probably wont grow more.  why not youtube a slider and practice it like crazy.  78 isnt quite enough to really blow people away,  Do arm excercises as well

Answer 4

No one can tell man but keep working on your arm strength and working hard and anything is possible if you love what you're doing.

Answer 5

you will grow maybe 2 or 3 more inches work on your arms and run a lot but make sure not to loose flex ability by lifting to much u have to be careful how much u do on your arms...i know a kid who was a great pitcher his junior year but lifted to much and was horrible his senior year cuz he lost his flexibility  

Answer 6

your tall but i think your growing stage may be over. you may grow maybe a half more of an inch and that is it or you may not even. I hope you make the teamm.

At 17, you're probably close to the end of your growing years, though I have known quite a few people who've grown up until age 21 or so.  If you really want to know how tall you'll be, you can have an x-ray done of your growth plates.  A good doctor can tell you almost exactly how tall you will be if they are still open, or they can tell you if you're done.  My 17 year old son just had an x-ray of his knee and the doctor told him he's getting close to done growing, but may still have another 1/2 inch or so.  He's a basketball player, so every inch counts -- just as it does for you.

I had x-rays done when I was 11 and the doctors then told me exactly how tall I would be.  Got it right on the nose.
