Moments in baseball photography

Every now and then I go through a set of photos and go, "Holy shit, I took that?"



Keio's Naoki Yamaguchi breaks a bat on his way to striking out.

Wow. That's a fantastic shot!

How were you shooting? One shot at a time, or using an option to do several quick exposures at once?

Well, I have a Nikon D200 and I can do several exposures in a row, BUT it's not THAT fast. I just got really lucky with this shot. I can usually get a decent "mid-swing" shot of a guy, but I've been trying harder to time it so I watch the pitcher and the batter and actually get the batter at the moment the ball hits the bat. This was a REALLY lucky one.
