How To Make Skills Video
The video needs to be short about 2-4 minutes long. It needs to show off your best skills as a player. It needs to include both fielding and hitting if you are a position player. If you are a pitcher make sure you include all your pitches. You can film from an ipad or smartphone. When filming defense make sure you zoom in as best you can showing your form. The hitting section should be filmed from the side and also from behind the hitter if possible.
Here are some examples of skills you may want to include in your video:
Infielders
Ground balls hit directly at me
Ground balls moving side to side
Forehand and backhand
Slow rollers
Picking balls at first base if you are a first baseman
Show off my arm strength
Outfielders
Fly balls right at me
Fly balls moving side to side
Fly balls moving back
Throw to bases
Scooping balls
Catcher
Framing

Slapping- if you are a slapper
Bunts- if that is your skill

Make sure the camera shows your hitting mechanics
