Bellagio Las Vegas December 10 – December 11, 2008
The Professional Baseball Video Coordinators Association (PBVCA) met in December at the Baseball Winter Meetings in Las Vegas. PBVCA members discussed various topics aimed at improving their performance and contribution to their respective clubs.
Our primary guest speaker was Frank Marcos with the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau. Mr. Marcos outlined the MLBSB Clipss service and how it will benefit clubs’ ability to upload, download and distribute amateur video throughout the organization.
We also had several vendors speak to the group about the latest technological advances in the industry. Each company explained how their product would benefit video coordinators and their teams.
What follows is a chronological recap of our meetings and topics.
