Of course! I'm a little slow this morning, Jim.

I don't expect to catch the ball that gets past the hitter. I prefer to
get it coming off the bat. I time my snaps by watching the players, and
getting the rhythm of the game. Here is a successful snap:

I just stopped to think about this a bit more and quantify it. If
these are little league boys of age 13 or less the pitcher's distance
from the plate is 46 feet. Boys of age 9-12 have average pitching
speeds ranging from 44-55 mph or a ball travel time of 0.57-0.71
seconds. From your photo I'd say that by the time you see the ball
enter the field of view at right the ball is already in the catcher's
mitt before you can press the shutter button.

Nice job but you will definitely have a tough time capturing the ball in
flight if you can't see the pitcher.

Shooting young baseball players in action, through a chain link fence,
in the late afternoon shadows, is challenging. I've concluded that,
for
me, the Leica Summicron-R 50mm lens works best. But, with the E-1, the
shadows have proved challenging. Yesterday, I paired up the lens with
my Fuji X-E1. The crop factor gives a little more field of view, and
the sensor works better in the shadows. This time, I failed to capture
the ball itself. :-(
But, I liked the action, anyway.
