2006 asa 14u national championships -- johnson city, tn Center of Attention

Right-center field isn't my favorite shooting spot, but on some

fields, that's all you can do. I thought the arrangement of players,

umpire, and ball was interesting. What do you think? Comments

appreciated.

this is a perfect capture. it is incredibly clear. With no offense, I am not sure how happy her coach would be though;) what tournament is this at?

fantastic clip!

The tournament is the USA/ASA 14 and Under National Championship Finals, held in Johnson City, Tennessee. 112 teams entered.

As for her coach, if you mean the batter's coach, he shouldn't judge too quickly, as the compression effect from a 300mm lens is significant. It's hard to judge how close the ball is to her from these kinds of shots.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thanks for taking a great picture. This happens to be my daughter and as far as the play is concerned, she grounded out to shortstop.

Again, thanks for taking the photo.

Small world, isn't it? Did you just stumble across the shot or did someone else?

Anyway, looked through that game's shots and found the one above. I normally shoot the opposing team in some detail (I put them at http://kirt.eventpictures.com) but didn't do that since they had the photography group on-site.

She had a nice stretch up to get that throw, which I had in the frame before, except her glove goes out of the frame and pretty much ruins it. :-(

Hope you had a good time in Johnson City!
