Reply to "Skills Video Question"

I did similar to Smitty except son was hitting off a machine. My son did infield and outfield. I also overlayed bat speed and throwing speed metrics on the video. I provided one in game diving play and pop up throw from short to show quickness. I showed one live outfield play to shown jump on the ball and how far he went to get it. Everything else was standard showcase fundamentals.

The odds are against videos being watched. But each one that is consider it a bonus. They’re more likely to be viewed at the D3 level where recruiting budgets are smaller. 

The big question about sending video is, do you feel your son is ready to be recognized as a prospect or coaches will have a “wow, we have to follow this kid” response to his potential based on where he is at his age/grade? 

The best way to market a player is have his travel coach presell him to colleges coaches as a “have to check him out” prospect. Of course, this takes travel coaches  with contacts and credibility.

Do not overlay music on the video.
