My 2012 son has a one-page bio and a 3-min. video that he will soon send to college coaches. I've been filming his at bats and can calculate home-to-first from the video (30 frames per second). When I do this from contact, his times are in the 4.5-4.6 range (= slooow). However, one of them, he was clearly out by a step or two and slowed down.
Should he include this in what he sends college coaches, or just let their interest be piqued by the hitting and fielding? Or will they simply then ask him (via email or phone) "How's your speed? Have you been timed?". At some point, they might time him themselves - but will he possibly chase them away by advertising below average times? He's a middle infielder, currently playing 3B on his HS team though. Good bat w/ gap to gap power for a little guy (5'9 150 lbs., several doubles and a triple already this season).
Thank you.
