After you get your grass meter reading, try overexposing one full stop where backgrounds are dark (like dugouts, trees and dark billboards) and uniforms aren't pure white. With lighter backgrounds and/or pure white uniforms, try overexposing a tad and maybe even up to one full stop. When shooting players with very dark colored skin in harsh sunlight always overexpose regardless of backgrounds or uniform colors. If you're not already doing so and if you have the time to convert images, shoot RAW in harsh sunlight and overexpose everything.
The only way anyone gets into the photo wells is if they have photo credentials and credentials are granted by organizations/teams within MLB rules and guidelines. The rules and guidelines apply to all levels of professional baseball to include minor league organizations and photographers must be affiliated with someone that MLB recognizes as a bona fide client. I'm a freelance photographer and I'll shoot for any bona fide client who'll pay me or on speculation if I think there's a good chance I can sell enough images to make the shoot worthwhile. I shot spring training this and last season with Baseball America affiliated credentials and I shot the past two minor league seasons with MiLB affiliated credentials. I've been the Florida State League photographer for four years and I shoot their games with FSL affiliated credentials.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to getting back out there to shoot some more.
I did shoot in RAW last time around, looks like I'll need to make a habit of it.
