The first part can be a result of factors out of the hitter's control. Many HS coaches want players to take a pitch, particularly if they are leading off.

Agreed, there MAY be factors out of the hitter’s control that affect it. But wouldn’t that be found out rather early in the process of identifying a problem?

That also brings up a good question. You say “Many HS coaches want players to take a pitch, particularly if they are leading off.” I know that’s something believed by a great many people, but how prevalent is it really?
