some recieving, blocking, and probably most importantly arm strength. Set the camera up so you can see the entire flight of the ball to 2nd base.
If you do it right you can get a pop time from the video.

What level?
A D1 coach is first looking for a kid that can hit. Other levels may be more flexible.
If you are sending a video start with your hitting. The most reveling catching video is shot from the 1st base dugout showing technique, might want to show a couple of throws from behind the plate to show pop times. I am not sure I'd bother with throws to 1st or 3rd or covering bunts etc. Thus hitting, throws to 2nd and blocks. Preferably game film. Keep it short.

Its for D1 coaches. So i will be sure to devote a major chunk of it to hitting.
