The shots are really super , may I ask what you focused on in both of the shots , was it the ball or the pitcher and the ball just happen to been in there , I ask because I have tried both and didnt get the same result at all

I was focused on the pitcher. I was using the AF point expansion (5 points). I figure that the camera jumped focus to the ball because not all of them were like this.

Yup, depth of field shot. It is great when you have the markings on a lens and it's accurate. If anyone asks you, tell them they were throwing knuckle balls.
