Those are great! I take baseball shots, too. I am having a hard time getting clear pictures with my sigma zoom lens. What kind of lens do you use?

Those were all taken with a Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR lens and Nikon D2H body. I shoot at f4 and iso 200 to 400 depending on the clouds. Usually I do -1/3 ev as well (thanks for that tip Randy).

What Sigma lens are you using?

The second is my favorite.

I think the first one could use a tighter crop to focus on the player and the base, but I see that you're using the same size for all the frames.

The primary reason I didn't crop the 1st tighter is because I felt the first basemans foot told more of a story. Without it you're left wondering why he's diving for the base. Unfortunately my 70-200 didn't go wide enough to get all the action given my proximity to 1st base.
