What a professional MLB player did one time in one game would not be what most would want to teach, If that was the case we would all stand there and point to the bleachers and call our next shot, (remember that was kinda kool)
Hitting a baseball is hard enough without asking a hitter to get into a disadvantage count. A pitcher would like to keep the batter in a defensive count instead of a offensive count, by all means don't send the dugout to the plate to take strikes down the middle, and play right into the defense!
