Why do I need a college recruiting video?

• You do well at your games? You feel you are better than "John Doe or Jane Doe" who's already committed? No communication with college coaches? You play HS baseball, travel ball and go to showcases, but nothing? A big misconception for athletes and parents is that they think by playing High School baseball, summer tournaments and going to showcases should be enough to get noticed by college recruiters, but the percentages are very small. The majority of college commitments besides "inside connections" begin with an email and a recruiting video that gets to the hands of the college recruiter whose next step is to come and evaluate athletes at their games. Therefore, a good video demonstrating your skill set is a great introduction to invite college recruiters to come see you. Most of the time college recruiters at games have already some sort of communication with the players they are there to watch so putting yourself on the map directly with coaches is a key process to athlete's recruiting.

 

What age or grade is a good time to do a recruiting video?

• Depends on the athlete's skill set. Obviously the earlier is done, the faster you can start sending those emails to coaches and start your recruiting process. Nonetheless, if the skills are not developed enough for the video, that could hurt your chances with those colleges.

​

What do we offer?

• Professionalism and understanding of what shots and angles college coaches look for. Deep knowledge of the game; thus, making sure you are in a good spot to make an impression with your video. Vast variety of technology with Rapsodo, Blast Motion and Pocket Radar. These are portable equipment that measures the athlete's metrics like Exit Velocity, Bat Speed, Arm Velocity, etc. These are key to the recruiting video as coaches can do a full player assessment combining the metrics from the video and live games. We also provide live games video options, where we come to the games and video all At Bats and plays on the field, edit them and add them to the recruiting video. Why are game videos important? After showing your skill set, coaches want to see you demonstrate those skills in competition. You can also provide us with recorded game videos to add, as long as they are already edited. Allow1-2 weeks turnaround time for the video to be edited. Our videos are 2-3 minutes long, as we know that is enough time for a coach to see all he wants to see out of a recruiting video.

What Should I bring?

• Your baseball equipment, baseball uniform, a baseball friend in uniform also that you can play catch with and catch your throws if you are a position player or a catcher if you are a pitcher. A coach that can throw BP and/or hit ground balls. If you do not have someone who can do those things in a professional manner, we do provide the extra personnel to do those professionally. You are also responsible for the field rentals; we recommend at least two hours.
