OK, a few things here.

Out here where we play baseball, this throw is call a "submarine" pitch.

Everything would of beed so much better is your lens was on the otherside of this pitcher.

I don't care to look at his back side. I would rather see the expression on his face. The concentration, determination, the sweat.

Color good, comp poor, great texture, whites just barely blown, blacks too deep, nice movement, great anticipation, get rid of the 'Adidas' ads because I want to see the athlete, and can care less for the fans.

Over all, this could of been better.
