optimal length for videos

Well, I didn't get any advice but I did have my dad shorten the video to 10 minutes, (5 min. of bull pens/5 min. of 2 innings played at a tourney last week.) I hope this is ok, since the coach asked me for more video. If any recruiting coaches could advise on this, I'd appreciate it.

Also, if a recruiting coach calls to talk to you about his program on his personal cell phone, is that a good indication of interest or do they call alot of players?

P.S. GO FLORIDA!!! (sorry Texas)

Since you had 195 hits for your post, I think others are intersted, but may not have an answer. Please post back your results, if the coach thought 10 minutes was enough time (or too much). I noticed that the video(s) on a player's PG profile is only SECONDS long, so maybe recruiting coaches can tell alot in only a few at bats or pitches.....and want to see more!

Well, the coach said he liked it and he came to watch me in Marietta, so I guess it was successful. I was hoping to get advice for all of us from recruiting coaches. I still wonder if that's too long, but maybe it's different for every coach. There were so few scouts at our team's games in Ga, that I was happy to have three attend (all from videos I sent). We were undefeated in pool play and only 5-6 scouts total came to see us play all week. I sent out honest, unedited bullpen and innings (only at their request). I've seen edited videos of guys throwing all strikes, but anybody can do that and make themselves look great. I hope some recruiters can post their opinions.
