Recruiting - should this video be used?

[ChrisSB]

Would love some thoughts on if this video should be used for DDs highlights from last weekend (she's playing 3rd base in this video). She's unsure because she fell, I think it's still a good play and shows good recovery. So should we use it or lose it? (For reference she's looking at D3s and NAIA's)

Sure! Why not? Hopefully you are sending it along with a string of other videos.

Of course, It shows great reaction time, situational awareness and coordination with throwing the ball while on the ground.

Definitely use it. That's a great play!

Sure...as long as you realize that the hitting portion will be much, much more important that anything else.

I have no opinion on its use, but it's awesome. I watched it half a dozen times. I love plays like that. And holy crap is she playing shallow there. I've only moved a kid that close when there's a tiny girl at the plate.

One of the things I dislike about softball.

The video is fine. Package it with some good hits and another decent defensive play or two.

As one of many (which 3rd can have) sure. Don't use that audio though

Haha. DD played 3B as a HS freshman. First game her coach moved her in to about 40 feet to "protect against a bunt" from a LH 5'10 power hitter that went SEC the next year. DD was not real thrilled. She sure cleaned up a lot of bunts that season, though.

And yeah, use the video. Shows great presence of mind/softball IQ.
