Those factors have a big impact on: 1 AF efficiency; and 2 whether MF is feasible at all. What if another subject ball player appears in another part of the frame? Shout "foul"? Occasionally manual is a good tool. Most often, though, it begs more control or perception of focus details than you can manage on the run. Because I have a lot of experience shooting video with a manual focus video camera I feel ok with what I said. I also know from shooting with one of these for years how much I have to roll my fingers to focus as a subject is moving to me or away.
I get to choose what I am focusing on and when to rack focus from one subject to another. DSLR video brings this experience home for much less money but I still need a good viewfinder to focus with. Right now, I use a 7in monitor connected to the hdmi out but I am badly in need of a much higher res monitor for accurate focusing.
Auto focus is fine for casual video or high depth of field-everything is in focus stuff, but I will likely be dead in the grave before it gets adopted by cinematographers for use on the big screen.
By the way, ALL of the high speed sports action stuff you see on television is shot with manual focus cameras and most are on manual aperture also. The zoom of most lens is motorized while focus is achieved by rolling a knob attached by flexible cable to a set of gears that operate the focus.
As the cameras whip from side to side following the action, you don't want the aperture changing unexpectedly so it is usually controlled by the camera operator or an engineer on a separate monitor.
It is possible to focus manually with DSLRs and achieve focus, you just need to spend money on the right equipment for the job and then practice, practice, practice. The discussion is all about video - my Canon M from hunts for focus in plain daylight and certainly at night, so I had to catch on that it has a focus lock. Since my Olympus SPUZ from , the autofocussing has enabled me to get still moon shots that evaded me with manual focussing as discussed elsewhere, the problem is the resolution of the EVF.
I still got out-of-focus videos indoors with movement a bit too often. In two years I only got one Morris practice video that remained out of focus for a whole dance. Otherwise she may start out of focus, and after a second or two latch on to someone, and remain focussed on that person wherever he or she moved to. A few years ago I ignored all this face recognition balloony, but now I have to admit that it does work for me. I am tempted to conclude that manual focus is necessary mainly in some older cameras, including so I am told some expensive DSLRs.

Could you have edited the truncated version in PSE? I probably did edit in PSE. The photo history for the one with the truncated data showed a modified date 2 days after it was imported from the camera. I probably edited it to straighten the horizon.
That group of photos was taken while on an airboat on the St John's River. We were going pretty fast and doing a lot of zig-zagging. I had to straighten the horizon on many of those photos. I use Irfanview as my go-to image viewer.
