Reply to "Recruiting videos"

RJM is spot on. What a coach looks at, from the preferred angle that I showed you, is :  set up, stance, position of the hands, the load (or lack of it), the bat path, the path of the hands, stride, hip & shoulder separation, weight transfer, how much the head moves, how long the barrel stays in the hitting zone, and balance at the finish. How a player does those things tells a coach whether or not a kid has good swing mechanics. Good swing mechanics tell a coach that a kid is more likely to project to be able to hit next level pitching (whatever next level happens to be). All those things can be taught (to some extent) by a good hitting instructor if you can find one - and good luck finding one. If your hitting instructor is talking about launch angle you have the wrong one. If your player is caught up in chasing exit velocity numbers he is focused on the wrong thing. For a position player, developing good swing mechanics is how to get recruited to play college baseball.
