I uploaded it to YouTube just so it can be seen on this site. Scroll down for the version that he posted to Instagram (it's the same video).
I asked him for some clips of him hitting, and he texted me wide screen videos of those, but all of the Little League World Series clips and most of the clips of him walking up to the plate, etc. came from me searching on YouTube. I had to look through all of the LLWS Michigan highlights plus the player introductions to gather clips of him. He didn't know I had that in store for him at the end.
I downloaded a YouTube video of an old VHS tape screen, a TV screen with lines going across, a static TV screen, and with those videos, I turned them into screens and turned down the opacity. I downloaded separate sound effects of static noises and power-outages to put over the clips--those didn't come with the video.
I had to center each individual clip in a 4K, 4:5 aspect ratio frame, so that it would look nice on Instagram. I used motion tracking for a majority of the clips. The camerawork movement was very lackluster beforehand.
95% of the sound effects were drawn from YouTube. Every single metal bat hit, and almost all of the crowd cheers came from countless sound effect YouTube videos that I drew from.
For the flashing overlays, I had to take a video with my phone with the flash on and move it around my hand to replicate a light leak. I used it as a screen in the videos.

I imported the second song by screen recording my phone and playing the bass-boosted version of it on Spotify, then sending the clip to my computer and uploading as an .mp3.
