I'm not much of a sports photographer, so I'll leave that up to the x-spurts, however I will tell you that when you're shooting a batter, you really need to have the ball in the picture, preferably right before it's hit by the bat. That makes for a far more interesting image. Try using continuous drive, shoot a bunch of images as the ball is pitched and you should get one with the ball on the bat.
not my image.
Beyond that, I think you're username is too long.

Here is what I love about this photo. It is an intereting perspective and you caught the peak of the action. The colors seem a little dull ( I know from my own experience shooting softball if you have the clouds going in and out it can be maddening) and I wish I could see her eyes (visor doesnt help you much).
When people look at sports photos they want to be able to see what is going on, its your job to try to capture that emotion and maybe a way that havent seen before. Be it a pass, shoot, throw catch, win loss......
(this is not my photo, it came from AP, but you can tell he is very excited that umass had just upset uconn in hoops)
This one is good in that you can see the intent of the player, you can see the concentration, I would crop the top part out and if adjuste the camera to get the speed up to reduce the blur of the ball and his hands ( I work with available light to so I know how hard it is in some indoor arenas).
An excellent, excellent site for sports photograhpy is http://www.sportsshooter.com check it out.
Here is Duke's page, click on all the photogalleries http://goduke.collegesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/sched/duke-m-baskbl-sched.html

And of course a shameless plug for myself: http://umassathletics.collegesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/sched/umas-m-baskbl-sched.html ( I think there are 2 or 3 games that are AP, but it says my name on them and if not it says the name of the AP photographer)
I got some great shots yesterday but I am not sure why the gallery isnt up. I will have to check on that tonight.
I just picked up the Street & Smith's GREATEST COLLEGE BASKETBALL PROGRAMS OF ALL TIME, it has some good ideas for basketball photos. If you can't find it and you want to see it let me know
Shoot that reminds me... i needed to come up with ideas for an interesting team photos. Well I guess I have till 2pm tommorow.

My apologies but I'm viewing this on a laptop and not my regular box. However,
the young lady's face looks OOF. If you can, adjusting the focus point to centre
point is ideal.
You're on the right track with this one. Plus, you've got a unique angle in this
shot.
Cheers,
Ian
