#1 - no face, only back of player = delete
#2 - Not bad for action but would either have liked to see more isolation on the runner and her expression sliding into base, or see shot from other side to get third baseman face as she is catching ball
#3 - ??? I guess you were going for arty effect of shadow?? All I notice first is out of focus dirt and foot and thus it seems odd
#4 - Again, yes yet another frozen ball shot, but player is really OOF and that is distracting.
#5 - Best shot of the bunch. You got a decent BOB (which many like to see) and you got a part of batters face.
#6 - no face no action = delete. If you are going to shoot fielders in down and ready positions (which can make some nice "stock" shots) get them from as full front as you can so you can see face and front of uniform. Or at least in 3/4 profile.

Most sports imagery really "pops" when you can see faces and eyes of players. Try to get more of those when shooting baseball/softball. Track and shoot batters as they follow through and come out of swings, as their eyes follow the ball and you'll get some nice batter shots. Softball pitchers make great facial expressions so try and get those. A side shot of them in full windmill motion also can look pretty cool too.

Keep plugging and post more for us to see.

I agree. The rest is great - good job.
