I haven't played baseball in a very long time so it's kinda "new" to me. I'm 16, 6'0'' ft. so i guess fairly tall. I can run fast but I have bad vision. I've never bat or pitched before that's why I'd like YOUR opinion on what you think I should strive for.
 
Without good vision, it's difficult to play any position well. If you can correct your vision with glasses, contracts or surgery, then any position may work. You maybe best to start with first base, where height is an advantage.

Ability run is mainly an advantage on the base paths and in the outfield, but vision is important and becoming a decent fielding outfielder takes some practice.

If vision will be an issue, then pitching may be your best option. A keen eye is less critical when pitching than hitting or fielding, as long as you can see well enought to read the catcher's signals.
 
first, b/c of your bad vision no out field or catcher, b/c you have never pitched, not pitcher, and b/c you're tall first would be perfect
 
I recommend that you play anywhere in the infield because you can see the ball better. You need great vision to play in the outfield. You get more action in the infield and playing outfield tends to be very boring. But, since you are fast and have no batting experience I would go with 2nd base because they tend to be very fast and not good in hitting.
 
Well it would be hard to start so late but if you are fast as you think center field will be good because you will only really have to throw to the cut-off man. Though if you get better vision you could play shortstop.
