Well, now that you have motion blur, and a little bit to the arm. Mainly on the hand, since that is what is moving the most. Pitch in baseball is very dynamic as well, that look more like a normal throw (unless your going for that, in which case this is fine). The entire body moves a lot, except for one foot, which stays planted.I would look at some videos to get a better idea of the movement. It's kind of hard to describe...

alright, can you explain a bit how the pitch should be more dynamic though? I know what a pitch looks like...

I like them a lot. I think they're great as animations right now. The style has too much black in it for me (outlines for small sprites are never a good thing really). But it's mostly your choice.

I kinda think I see why you don't like the outlines. I'll see what they look like without an outline then and see if that helps.

Just use this as a reference. It pretty much explains everything you need to know and more to make a realistic pitch. It's a bit slow, but it works.

Look at the person throwing the ball in your animation, I don't think that he is professional, so I would find a balancing between the two that is to your liking.

Here try making the bat swing at you instead of dwon like a gulf club (Unless you were trying to do that but anyway I guess...) also sorry I cant animate at the moment : (

since a pitch can go as low as the top of your knees and still be in play (apparently, im not too knowledgable on the subject) id say that it looks like the swing is at the right height. and the bat does face you btw.

look at ness for an example... The bat doesn't go down.

Ness isnt swinging at a baseball. Hes hitting someone.

hold a baseball bat in the same positions as yours sprites to see what I mean...

i see what youre saying sir...

lol sorry If I was being rude but I like to help people improve lol :/

Hey, for all we know, it could be a low hit.

then bend the knees like that :p

No no, don't appologize, I was being unreasonable and wasn't in the best mood earlier. But I can see what you're saying a bit more clearly, really, I think the angle is for the most part fine, I just shouldn't move his arms so low. Maybe. I'll experiment with it and see what I get. It may just be the anatomy, generally mines very off.
