Agreed. Looks a little like Dutch Ruether.
As we know, it was not uncommon for pitchers to warmup in front of the dugout, and he may have been doing that when Ruth was asked to mug for the camera (note he is nowhere near the ondeck circle). Obviously the pitcher was not about to unload one into the back of the Babe's head, but it is not illogical to think that he was going through (threw) the motions. Still, as noted, his legs look kittywampus.
