I am the pitcher, and my mom took the photo. I'm wearing my Boston Red Sox shirt and hat (Go Red Sox!) and I'm in a throwing position. My dad held the baseball. I predict about a 5.8-6.0, but we'll see.

I really like the concept you have used for this shot. House in the background is a bit distracting and also the white circle which I assume is on the fence or is there two balls in the actual picture? - it takes away from the shot. Nice sharp closeup of the ball. A creative idea and perfect for the challenge. Well done.
I get the feeling the ball is held and not captured in motion, which would add 'wow' to the image. The theme represented very well though and dof is just right 7
