    Put me in coach!

    High school baseball is just getting started. Lick-Wilmerding vs Saint Ignatius played to a 6 - 6 tie. The game was called on account of darkness. Let me know what you think.

    Too bad all the people who know how to run this country are busy running taxicabs or cutting hair.

    I love that you caught the action!
    Looks like it could use a slightly tighter crop on the right hand side in my opinion.

    Re: Put me in coach!

    This is a very nice composition with enough DoF that everything is sharp from the batter to the scoreboard. I'd suggest rotating the shot clockwise to level the field/fence though.

    For future shots, if the pitcher will be the subject I'd try to get the ball as it's leaving his hand, and if the batter is the subject, include his feet.

    Echoing this. The other one that sticks out is to straighten the horizon.

    Great action and timing!
    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.
