Yes you do have to command the strike zone but the guession is about giving in.
I can site examples of both situations were my son pitches out of the zone and others were he throws strikes. Last season he threw his 1st 14 pitches against a nationally ranked D1 college for strikes. It depends on how his best stuff is working and it doesn't always work. No pitcher is on all the time.
Here is a clip that he fell behind 3-0 and came back into the zone. This was pre college against an elit team. He threw his out pitch even at a full count to get the strikeout. My point is that you can't be afraid to walk batters under certain conditions
