Wow, that is crazy! Excellent series Leon. Who says 10fps is a waste? LOL

Those are some unique shots. Make you wonder how someone develops such style in this over-coached world of sports. I enjoyed the series Leon.

Thks Sonny-Actually it was my 7D at 8FPS(not alot of difference actually) LOL After 7 hours my butt got tired so I missed the A&M-Houston game.

Thks Jason, it is unusual to see this delivery these days. It was actually more underhand that sidearm.

Thks David-It gets me that you see so much coaching these days, but still the fundamentals are lacking in so many players including the pros.

Great shot as usual Bob! Thks for posting.
I was the one who spoke to you from the stands after you moved to the first base pit. I would have talked more but didn't want to bother my idol at work.
I always enjoy your shots.

Thks for looking Scott!

Hey Juan, I recognize your lens hood, The weird thing was that he would change the delivery style for different pitches. Bet it made it harder for the hitters to get set unless he ended up forcasting his moves. I missed the last game also, butt had all it could take!

One of the hardest pitchers to adapt too. It's hard finding the ball, and looks extremely weird seeing when it is actually released. Especially when a pitcher can throw upper 80's.

This pitching style is suppose to be less strenuous on the shoulder, but be more stressful on the elbow.

Awesome captures though!
