Denver photographers whose sons play youth baseball are obliged to capture Denver action photography. This photographer is no exception. So without further ado, here are a few images of my favorite subject!
Levi Shows super pitching form in this action photograph. Under his Southeast Denver Braves uniform it’s almost impossible to detect his prosthetic leg – most spectators never even notice. And during all-star tryouts, one coach said (under his breath), “ya gotta loose that limp kid”

Levi was better and better at the plate in 2015
This duo of action shots from behind the plate were shot at Holly Hills in Denver.

The Southeast Denver Baseball League Braves season was fraught with scheduling problems from the start. Game after game was postponed due to torrential rains. And in the end, there just weren’t enough calendar days left to make them all up. Unfortunately for the Braves, they played six games against he best two teams and only five games against the bottom four teams. The Braves finished in the cellar.
But to assume that the team’s season was a failure is overstatement. This was a year of growth. It was a year of acquiring the kind of sour experience which allows appreciation of both baseball and life itself. It was a season that left at least a few of the braves hungry for a new season.
