#2 but with as much space between the ball and the left side as possible and a bit more off of the right side. Nice catch.

You might also try shooting these from the same side of the catcher that the pitcher throws from

Thanks guys... Only problem being on the other side was the umpire and batter were in the way. I tried it from everywhere...

Edited on my iPad so it didn't get straightened all the way but that is how I would crop it if it were me.

You can get some fantastic shots with a blurred out batter/catcher/ump w/ pitcher still in focus.
