Since I am using the rugged old Olympus E-1, with a mere 5MP, I am reluctant to crop much more. And, at 1/250, his face seems to have some motion blur. I was surprised, but shouldn't have been, that at this age and arm strength, the ball has a more looping trajectory than with older pitchers. But, I captured the "late afternoon" lighting as it really appeared. Glad to increase your knowledge of the American pastime.
