While these won't be direct photos, they were probably made from photos.

I don't know about earliest action photos, but 1890 would have to be in the running. Maybe with an asterisk for the stereoviews showing games in progress. Most don't show much action, but the players are on the field..

Muybridge did do baseball, just not game action (The images are likely NSFW)

His camera for the horse etc was actually multiple cameras, and the whole setup was larger than the dugout.
