Reply to "recruiting video advice"

I started taking videos of son's in-game at-bats and defense his HS junior year after he developed physically and had numbers that would impress (velo, exit velo, pop time, 60 time).  In late spring my son spliced together these clips into a 90 second video that included a few cage BP swings and a few showcase throw-downs (my son is a catcher), but most of video time was in-game at-bats (he wanted to show power to all fields) and in-game backpacks, blocks, steal attempts.  The clips were 5-7 seconds each with no dead time in between (keep it moving).  No music, just game background sounds.  He included this video in email to college coaches with his summer schedule.  He created updated videos throughout the summer and fall to keep it fresh and update numbers, grades and test scores.  The feedback he got from coaches was that they liked the energy he played with and the speed he played the game, so I think the in-game clips made a difference.
