So, are you saying that the best videos would be from actual games, showing all at bats/pitches faced? How many at bats would suffice? Or, are these videos just a waste of time?How can you tell it's a regulation field?
I think this young lady has a great looking swing. I'm sure she hits a lot of big HR's. But, as someone who routinely would get sent "videos" and recruitment clips to look at I know 1 thing for certain: we only get to see the highlights portion of the video. I'm exaggerating now but, you'll get my point, for all I know she swung and missed at the next 5 pitches. This is why recruiting videos always made me chuckle, I'd see the HR she hit or the final pitch of all 12 strike outs (but none of the other pitches or know she K'd the other 3 times at bat). I'd have much rather seen how the pitcher reacts after giving up her HR (temperament, composure, etc). Then see what her next pitch is like, so I can see how quickly she regathers herself. Or if the next girl got hit in the ribs from the previous home run.
Anyway, I'm not trolling on this gal. She looks great. I am just saying I'm usually a little skeptical of videos that are edited.
