New Here ... have some questions on video's

Wait until he's physically bigger, stronger and driving the ball relative to high school.

Welcome to the site, gamer.  Exciting and special times coming up for your son!  He looks pretty good. 

A few things to consider regarding varsity vs. JV...  I think your response to the coach that you were more interested in PT has solid logic behind it but don't forget that this is a team sport and team needs should come first.  If he is fortunate enough to make V and does so in a back-up role, that may make the V team stronger than having weaker alternatives rotating in.  Even then, there are plenty of advantages with getting reps with the V players every day and being with that squad.  Also, I don't know what the situation is at your son's HS but this is usually purely the coach's decision.  He may have been letting you know your son has a good shot to make the team as a compliment and as a measure of preparation and inspiration toward your son more so than to get your opinion.

 

There are tons of great threads here on the V vs. JV subject that you can search and read through.  One thing I always like to point out to parents of incoming freshman who are put on V... be aware that it can be a "grow up in a hurry" sort of environment in regards to language, conversational content, social scene, etc.  If he gets the call to be with the older guys, be prepared.

 

Regarding video, there are also tons of threads on how to put together the best product.  I'm with RJM in that there is no hurry.  Video's are for college recruiting and you want to show a product that is ready or close to ready to contribute to a college program.  Your son appears to be on the right track but isn't there yet. 

Backhand is a "bad" drill. he is losing the ball 2 ' in front of his eyes.

It is a "showcase" mentality.

It loses games, but looks good for the parents.

Find the 6th Tool for your son. Do you live near Somerset?

However his swing is good. Relax and flow.

Good Luck

Plenty of time for video.  Your son is athletic with upside... I'd focus on finding a quality hitting and fielding instructor.  Time to really solidify mechanics, it takes a while...  If you look at his finish on his swings he's pretty  off balance not allowing him to drive through the ball - there's a reason that's happening, a good instructor will get him corrected from the ground up.  When an athletic kid fields a ball backhand he's inclined to not move his feet and over trust his athletic ability to field it.  Sometimes that results in stabbing at a very playable ground ball that just hopped over his glove or shoulder.  Gotta move the feet around the ball when you can. A good instructor will get his feet moving around the ball, allowing him to field through the ball.  Just examples...  I have two talented SS's in my house, been working on footwork/glove work since they were 7 & 9 and it shows. 

 

Good fundamentals executed by an athletic quick kid gets attention.  Along with driving the ball gap to gap helps him further.  You've got some good stuff going there... spend the time finding quality instructors that can engage your son and have a schedule to accommodate yours.

 

Welcome aboard & good luck!

thank you everyone .. great input .. we will work on the foot work .. again I we only make these for fun .. he has good foot work in real games and knows how to come through the ball.. I did look again at the video and the swings that he was off balance were all outside pitches that he was trying to go oppo .. so there is something we need to work on .. great site here... really enjoy reading 

No advice on the video but I love how he takes the ball where it's pitched.
