I think it's harder for a hitter to adjust to college ball than it is for pitchers, especially when you're coming off the bench cold having probably never sat the bench in their life.

Pitchers can also be saved. Walk two in a row, next arm gets a strikeout and a groundball. 0-2 count, pinch hitter doesn't come in and take the k off your back.

One thing I always look at are BBs and Ks for young bats. If they're striking out and not walking at all they're not putting good ABs together. You can hit .230 as a freshman and be lightyears ahead of the .220 guy with 3 bbs on the season averaging a K every other AB.
