Baseball videos are combination skill videos and either game or hi-light videos. For the skill portion, film three to four repetitions of each skill. Coaches want to see everything you are capable of doing. If you play several positions, show footage of positions that require different skills and that are not complimentary positions. For example, short stop and 2nd base as well as 3rd base and 1st base are complimentary positions. The player playing those positions use the same skills. Just show one of the complimentary positions, not both. Film fielding and throwing the ball independently. The entire video should be 5 to 10 minutes.  

Please click on     to see a Windows Media Player Movie of a baseball skills video from College Sports Exposure.

Live game footage of the pitcher is the only game footage valuable to the college coaches. This live footage should be added behind the skill video segment to give the college coaches the option of viewing it or not viewing it.

Pick hi-lights from the game footage of other players that are not pitchers.
