Baseball is probably my favorite sport and there's just something about the pitching motion that I find fascinating, especially when it's broken down at 10FPS.

Yes, I like pitchers too. Great motions and great faces. Lots of opportunities to shoot plus you get the challenge of getting the timing just right. I've been trying without burst mode lately, single shot to really test my ability to get the timing just right.

Here's a recent favorite of mine.

Really shows the strain put on that elbow tendon...

Makes Tommy John surgery a little more understandable. :shock:

Love the pitching pictures. I'm probably a little biased though since I was a pitcher my whole life pretty much up until this year in college. I always used to love seeing the weird ways my arm would bend, but now that I've learned more about photography I appreciate them even more

pitching and catching are about 95% of the action at a baseball game anyway
you have to shoot them
or you would go home with 5 shots for the whole game
