I'm going to agree with Berry here and say this shot could be improved with a tighter crop. I'm no sports photographer so who knows if I'd be able to pull it off, but I think if the only elements in this shot were the (whole) pitcher and the batter from the waist up it would be a lot more dramatic. I do like the angle you chose to shoot from and I like the ball frozen mid-flight. This is a good start! Thanks for posting.
