That one with the kid pointing at the camera could go down as a timeless image.
You can tell he has watched one to many pros flaunt infront of cameras and on the chance he one day plays the majors that photo will say it all. Great set.
As someone said, you maybe new to dslr but not at all to photography... I more than agree. great set and hope you enjoy the digital side.
I pick up photography and my first dlsr on jan 04 2008 so Im really new to photography and DSLRR, i been loving photography ever since then.. now im majoring in weddings/potrait/commerical so yea.. doing all of these shoot with kids and ppls are really a good experince. I will post more pictures ASAP! Thanks for the love guy.
Your images are so good (most of them) that you will no doubt cause envy in many more experienced photographers around the playing fields.
I am not a 'sports shooter' but have seen many more images that fail to show the individuals and the groups as you have. You are 'on to something' with your work in this area.
My Simple Suggestion: Try to only show your best images. Eliminate any that are 'weak' or typical looking.
gotcha thanks.. i will put that on my notebooks... time to delete bad one , sometime i like posting bad one so i can learn from the pro's and see where i can work on.. to be honest.. i like to know my failure/weak point so i can succeed/fix them later on. thanks a lot again.

What is weak?
Purely a matter of opinion.
When looking at the images above, I think the images where the bat is cut off are 'weaker' and could be 'improved' by showing more of the figure (including bat tip) in the image. So, while the individuals (expressions) look great, the overall image is "weaker" because of the cut bat etc...
Simple Suggestion: Show the entire figure in the image (including bat tip) on the 'swing' images and then crop later to eliminate other distractions.
You might do this by taking a 'wider' shot using a zoom and anticipate the 'reach' of the bat in front of the figure prior to shutter release.
yea i was thinking of those, i love the face expression and actions but its cut off on some part.. i did it all with a 85 1.8 , my only lens for now, because i mostly shoot potrait and I figure out if i'm going to do some local games.. i need a zoom. maybe a tamron 17-50 on a 1.6 crop or sigma 24-70 . I do see the weakness where I can improve. Next time I will do better in those field. =]

Given your current images, I recommend the Sigma 24-70 f2.8. Since you like both action shots (try the lens about 30mm) and you like individual portraits (70mm).
IF you went with the 17-50mm, I bet you would feel your 'reach' was limited and your images would look very different from what you see now. Given the 'action' nature of the games, having a single lens that allows rapid change of FOV (field of view) is important.
Another to consider would be the Canon 24-105mm f4 (I have one of those too) but it is significantly more expensive (about $900 versus $350 or so).
My suggestion would be get the Sigma and start with it. Then add more equipment later as you learn the limitations of that zoom.
I was also thinking about the tamron 28-75 , so the 24-70 on a 1.6 crop will be different.. could i still fit like a whole team in one frame if i step back a few feets?
