Great pictures. Love the picture of the pick off play with the dirt flying up in the face. What was your gear combo for these?

Thanks hoytme.

Gear used: Canon 1DX with the Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 IS II USM

Not only is the action great but the use of that marvelous light makes for a really nice set of images. Well done.

Very nice indeed Mark.

nice set, #3 was the running called save? Pick off at 1 first?

Thanks Jeff the runner was safe on the pick off on 1st base.

Mark, high quality images, peak action, dynamic lighting, brilliant angles. Maybe #6 is my favorite. You've come a long way in a short time. Keep up the adept work.

Absolutely beautiful pics. Wow. Also, I am incredibly jealous of your body/lens combo. Maybe some day lol. They're all incredible, but I absolutely love numbers 4 and 6.

One thing I dislike is how many young players are using that ridiculous "war paint" looking eye black like Harper did...but there's nothing you can do about that :P

With this light and action, these are just a joy to look at, again and again. Top notch.

Fantastic work, the lighting is great, the timing is right.

agree with Z
great stuff

I'll echo what everyone else has said. Great Set!
