Don't know if video systems would be right name or not but was wondering if anyone had any experience with Hudl for baseball. Pro's and con's. Cost just really anything anyone has any experience on.

Are you asking for personal or team use? I have extensive experience with hudl as a football and baseball coach. Excellent product but again for team use.
Hudl Technique can be used by individual coaches, parents, players, etc. It allows you to shoot video with option to play in slow motion, draw, and add notes. It can also be paired up with hudl and used by coaches to send video to players.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
Looking at it for our HS team to use. I’ve used it a lot for football just didn’t know how it would do for baseball. Can you cut up clips as easy as Football and does it separate at bats any by itself.
Same...use it every year for football but my experience on the baseball end is viewing video of my son and our baseball team. I will check with baseball video guy tomorrow and let you know. I know they are separated into clips in our video library but not sure how easy it is for video guy to make that happen. Definitely find out tomorrow for you.
We use it for our baseball team. Yes, you can cut up clips and separate by events- at bats, pitchers, etc. Has much of the same functionality as the football program. We use it for filming practices, games, and team messenger to communicate with players. Also we use the Hudl campaign option for fundraising. As far as I can tell, you can also use the highlight option to create clips for recruiting just like you see in football.
Cool. FHOBBS...if you need additional questions answered, let me know and I will send them to our video guy. If not, thanks James.
Thank y'all for the help. I'm going to purchase it this week.
Where did you guys find best angles to put the camera, did you use multiple camera's? we have been filming games for a while but find it hard to get close enough to certain points to catch all the action and still get solid view point for mechanics. Do you have the camera fixed in positions (ie one camera on hitter side view or rear view/one on pitcher side view and home plate view).

Are you trying to get video for recruitment? If so, catching all the "action" is irrelevant. Coaches watching video are looking at mechanics and don't care about the result of the play or game. They want to see a few clips of whatever skillset you're trying to show, be it fielding, throwing, hitting, catching or pitching. If you want the action just to preserve for yourself or son for the future, then the mechanics piece is mostly irrelevant. If you were hoping to kill two birds with one stone, get an extra camera and tripod and set on for the field action and another to capture you individual mechanics videos. Simply put, there is no way to capture both and really no need from a recruiting standpoint.
Yea we kill two birds with one stone for team use, we try to break down mechanics during game and look at positioning and pre=post pitch movements for defense as a team, plus good to break down games of who should be where and what happened. Just wondering if anyone was able to get both without multiple cameras (if there was a place to put the camera to get as much as possible).
We used it yesterday during practice. The way we set it up is the way we will games as well. We have on wide angle that covers the whole field so we can see who's moving and positioning. Then 2 zoomed in on the batter each mounted on top of the dugout and one zoomed in on the pitcher as well. The hull lets me cut and combine them and send them to each player. On our Jrs. and Srs. we use the pitching camera to zoom in on them during individual work to break them down. as well. hudl just makes it a lot easier to edit out all the dead time and combine the film as well as mark up what we need.
