I really like #2 - I would emphasize the sizzle and the smoke just a bit more - and you have a winner.
2 things about #1 that leave me a bit cold. I don't like the font - too dominant in the scene. Also - the flame trail is a very cool idea - but it jigs and jags around a bit too much for a fastball, and the flames don't work if the pitcher is thowing junk to confuse the batter. I think #1 has a lot of potentiall, but I would deemphasize the font some - and also give a more blistering path for the pitch - straight at the glove - otherwise the pitch won't flame...
Really creative work overall though, Drake. You are really improving in your processing skills since you got your DSLR. You are not just "fixing" shots - you are moving on to the next level.
