My oldest brother was the best pitcher in the entire city. His fastball only reached the low to mid 70's and he was a relative midget (5'10 170lbs) - but he could throw five different pitches and had great control with most of them.

If he had an arm - he'd have been a sure-fire MLB pitcher.

He won every game but one his junior year - and his team lost almost every single game that he didn't start.

He was 7 or 8 years older than me though. His catcher was a fat kid with no arm who couldn't catch his knuckleball. They had like one and a half other good players - and no one else who could pitch or wanted to catch. He got good shortstop and 2nd base play anyway.

5 10 is not a midget on this site. That puts him in the top portion for size here, at least height.

It's small for a pitcher. How many MLB pitchers are that size?

Cute kid, but the shirt is the best part of that pic. God, I miss that area.
