Well done, looks like it could be part of an article about the history of the game, Koufax, Ty Cobb, etc.

Great stop action. The whole image tells a story. The pitcher, the fieldsman (sorry I am not a baseball fan), the people behind the fences...they all they their own emotion. Good work.

Comment by Man_Called_Horse:
This is a good effort. However, the highlights are too blown. The blacks are too black. In a good b&w you need texture within your highlights and shadows.

In sports, this is a nice attempt. Some things to remember when shooting sports is the following, have action, get facial expressions, crop tight if possible, don't cut off limbs if possible, don't have lines going through players in the bg, don't have advertisement, make sure the pix is tack sharp, and finally (in this picture) have the ball in frame.

Nice sports capture. Works well, but where is this battle? Choose your title carefully for this genre.
