Did you shoot that kitchen set ad? That's some nice jib work there...
A couple of jump cuts bothered me, the one off the top where the kid is sitting with his mom then all of a sudden swinging a bat. The other one was his mom in the interview position then the next shot she's standing there at the plate with him. Maybe break that up with a tight of the kids feet or eyes, or the pitcher throwing the ball before you show the mom with the kid.
Other than that I thought it was a nice story, the sequence with the swinging and the falling down made me laugh and the reporter interaction made for a fun moment.
Another thing I think really worked was the staged posing shot with the tilt up. It gave it a little ESPN kinda thing. Some staging is key to sports stories in my opinion.
I don't like slo-mo, especially to close a piece, but that's just me, I know alot of people do and you didn't over use it.
Nice story.
