The shot is well timed, but it looks like you were standing in a spot meant for shooting batters, and then you turned and happened to catch this shot. I'd like to see more space to the left of the ball, I'd like to see the runner on the right third rule, and I'd like to see less of the first base coach. It's a cool shot in that you can feel the action happening, but with no faces showing it will not sell unless this was a championship winning moment of which no better photograph exists. Otherwise it looks soft and a little underexposed. The latter is an easy fix in raw, but perhaps your glass is lagging behind your skills?

An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.
