Couple of video editing comments:
Your title said catcher, then I was confused at who I am supposed to be looking at - the hitter or the catcher - at first.
Why do you show him running the bases? Is he known for speed?

Lazy-L rather than Power-V indicates arm usage.
Do you hear a "woosh" when you swing?

Jake,
I agree with Sultan. I would edit your video, and scale down some of the hitting and base running. Unless you're showcasing your speed (I don't think you are?), there is no need to show you running the bases, as it could come back to hurt you? Perhaps you can include a 5-6 pitch AB, so that a coach can see your approach? I'm not a hitting coach, but it looks like you're squaring the ball up well. Do you have any clips going Oppo? Best of luck in the recruiting process, keep us posted!

Thanks for the input everyone. I will edit out some of the baserunning, My thought on including that was to show the result of the hit. Considering Im only of average speed maybe this isn't a good idea. As far as hitting opposite field at least a third of the hits are opposite field including the first clip.
Low Finish can you elaborate further on the Lazy L/ Power V. I just swung a bat to make sure, but their is a whoosh sound.

Jake,
I'll send you a PM, it's kind of difficult to explain.
Let me add on to your critique, I don't like your "dead hands" type swing. Look into "Tip N' Rip"
