Cincinnati Mustangs U17 Baseball – Wright State University

Max — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:51:43 +0000

I returned to shoot my favority sport on Friday, this time the Under 17 year olds at Wright State University in Fairborn. I actually photographed a couple of the kids on the Mustangs while photographing the Springboro Baseball team this year. Taylor Terrell and Ben Schubert play OF and 3B, respectively for the Mustangs. I also saw sort of a novelty today, when one of the Mustang pitchers delivering the ball submarine style. One of the coach remarks that this style allows him to pitch everyday. Quite remarkable. I also photographed the Mustangs next game at Franklin High School. Here are some choice images from both games and a link to my ProAct Image Zenfolio Catalog site for all images from the game.

The Allen Americans, a CHL affiliate of the Dallas Stars signed Jarret Lukin, Justin Bowers, and Christian Gaudet formerly of the Dayton Bombers. Here is the official Press Release. Good to see that these guys have found a home and that they are together. Also, in the mix is the guy we know and love from the past several seasons of the Bombers. I am not going to reveal his name, but you can probably guess based on the fight image below. Also, for those of you familiar with the Bombers, take a look at who is the Director of Player Personnel.

Here are Jarret, Justin and Christian when I photographed them in during 2008-2009 season. Also here is a link to the story: Our Sports Central.

Springboro Bulls U8 Select Baseball Photoshoot

Max — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:04:16 +0000

After Springboro Baseball season ended last week, I began having baseball withdrawal and was fortunate enough to get my baseball “fix” today by photographing the Springboro Bulls select baseball team vs. Lebanon Warriors in Lebanon. I was impressed that all the Bulls players had such good grasp of baseball fundamentals. It was also good to see familiar faces on the Bulls as some of the kids played baseball with my son Slade two years earlier. Lastly, I experienced a strange case of deja vu while photographing one of the Bulls players, by the name of Mason Hobbs whom I photographed in October 2008 as part of my Dayton Bluehawks photoshoot. Here is a link to my Bluehawks Mite2 photoshoot. Here is Mason, then and now.

In addition to photographing the team, I stuck around and got some awesome shots of the kids. Below are sample images, while a full collection is available on my ProAct Image Photography Zenfolio Collection.

Taylor Terrell Baseball video

Max — Fri, 29 May 2009 01:39:58 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing the Springboro High School Baseball team this year and their outstanding season. One of the bright young stars of the team was Taylor Terrell, who is a Junior outfielder/catcher. I compiled the following video based on some of the images from the season and my HD camera. All post processing was done in Adobe’s Premier Pro CS4. The goal of this video was to exhibit Taylor’s five tool skils. A five-tool baseball player is one who excels at hitting for average, hitting for power, baserunning skills and speed, throwing ability, and fielding abilities. I can’t wait to see what next year holds.

Springboro Baseball vs Springfield High School

Max — Wed, 06 May 2009 02:48:33 +0000

My lucky charm is back as once again Springboro Panthers dominated their competition. That is 6-1 in the games that I attended this season. The game wasn’t close after the first three innings as Panthers pitcher Eric Sillies pitches 6 strong innings for the win. I also had a chance to photograph all of the dressed players. Here are the select images and as always a link to all of the 2009 Baseball season action.

Springboro Baseball vs Centerville Elks at Fifth Third Field

Max — Fri, 01 May 2009 14:55:04 +0000

Well it looks like my luck run out. The Panthers lost to the Elks last night by the score of 7 to 6 as the winning run was scored with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th inning. The game was a see-saw affair with 4 lead changes and both team enjoyed many supportive fans. Incidentally, here is a link to my post about the 2008 game between these teams from 5/3 field. I’ll get some images up later today.
