Link to Skills Video

It is easy to upload your skills video to YouTube for easy sharing and viewing by coaches. On the skills video be sure to: 

• Go 100% - Coaches will have a stopwatch timing catch to release times (0.6), throwing and pitching velocity, home to first speed, and time it takes to start your swing and get to contact (0.2 seconds). 
• Speak clearly
• Show multiple reps
• Add game footage
• Highlight your offensive attributes. Coaches recruit pitchers and hitters.
