This photo really captures both elements of time and of the thing itself.  Not only is the baseball player(Oswalt) being caught in the middle of his windup, a position you as the viewer know he can't stay in, but he his also the sole focus of the photograph, he his clear and detailed while the background is our of focus.  Oswalt also fills the whole picture with his body taking up most of the three center blocks in the grid.  The begins with his lead foot, follows the line of his leg up his torso to the concentration on his face, and finishes with the ball in his hand where the viewer is left in anticipation for Oswalt to finish his motion.
