What exactly is Mr. Evans doing??

Most of the fans seem to be looking at him so I'm not sure about the line drive, but then again most fans would be looking up at the ball if a pop up. Maybe he practicing his ballet moves between pitches? I've seen that happen.

Yep, I noticed that too, but if the ball is directly over his head or close, the fans would all be looking in his direction.

That's true too. Maybe we should send him a letter and ask?

If you watch video replay of line drives, you can see that spectators' eyes and heads remain on a batter well after the ball had cleared the infield in most cases. The ball is simply traveling much faster than people can react.

I agree. I almost wonder if he was just jumping to stretch his legs at the start of a game. I've seen players do it and it would catch the eyes of the crowd behind him with not much else to watch at that point.
Just a thought,
