Kyle R. Pochek Photo: High School Baseball.......91mph???

Last Friday I had to shoot two sporting events, Baseball and Lacrosse. The first game was at 4:00 so i got there at around 3:30 to get set up and get some good spots to get some unique shots. Being that it was the first really nice day of the year I was really excited to be out side and having a good time doing what I love to do.

This shot is one of my all time favorite image in my archive. I was sitting on the third base line about 30 to 40 feet away from the dugout and the sun was facing straight into the dugout. I notice that a coach had his face just outside and into the light so I under exposed the image by a couple stops just so have the light on his face and shoulder showing. Idk maybe it's not that great but I like it lol.

Sitting on the first base line i was hoping to get some good batter shots but the sun wasn't cooperating so what ended up happening was just getting some good shot of home plate. On a past ball a runner tried to steal home and was tug out by the catcher in plenty of time.

After a couple innings of not much action the pitcher for the other team came and talked to me. Being a former classmate of mine we talked for a minute or too and he said that there was a scout in the stands with a radar gun and that he was hitting 90-91 Mph. Now idc what level that is that is still pretty impressive. Being 18 years old I would say that he has a pretty good chance of going somewhere.

Here are the rest of the shots of the game. Sorry for the short blog I am 2 behind and its like 11:30 anyway.
