March 19, 2016, Peoria, Arizona - Seattle Mariner's designated hitter Nelson Cruz mulls what could have been after making an out Saturday during the Mariners Cactus League game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Peoria, Arizona. Cruz was 0-4 on the night and the Mariners would drop a 4-2 decision to the D'Backs.

WHY I CHOSE THIS PHOTO: I thought this was one of the strongest "sportraits" I captured all year. The distinctive features of Cruz, the glint of light of his black curls and face, his stare of into the field, all against the beautifully blurry background bokeh effect of the fans.
