In the current economic situation, I'm going to assume that many people will not be able to afford showcases and travel this summer, and next, even assuming summer baseball gets going again. If your business got shut down or you were out of work for 2-3 months, spending $$ for a PBR or PG showcase just may not be in the cards, likewise paying for hotels at tournaments.

Maybe online and social media video are going to become more popular (even if not more credible) because of this? I'd guess that travel organizations (which are already paid for - although I'm sure that's another can of worms) and creditable instructors are going to be pushing video out much more, in addition to 3rd-party like PBR, ProspectWire, and PG.

A few years ago, the (now-former) Yale RC put instructions on how to video someone running a 60 on a football field, said he could time it himself, so no need to put a stopwatch in the frame.
