Very hard to tell from these videos but it looks like, at least for the first few strides, that your arms are working against your body. They are moving across your chest instead of parallel to it. This is gonna slow you down.  Talk to the track coach at your school and see if he can help you work on your running form. 

 

Agree that it's hard to tell from video. Best spot is to be really close to first base as you can hear when ball hits the bat, sole focus then is foot on bag. I got 4.5 consistently in first video and in the 4.2s for the bunt which should be lower. I forget what position you play; HTF times are most valuable for CF and MI. First video you seemed to slow up towards the end. 

HTF and 60 times were the most critical measurables for my son, as speed is his best tool. He would run different times based on conditions, surfaces, timers, etc. After he would give me a 60 time from a showcase, I would usually ask, how many ran and where did he rank. On the otherhand, it was important for him to do many showcases that could give him an unbiased reading--the more chances for him the better. Once he hit specific numbers, he stopped doing showcases and focused on schools where he was on the radar. Good luck BCT.
