Reply to "Intentional Walk"

I think in a rec league, this is a poor move but I have seen it happen. From a player development point of view, I would prefer my player face their best and go after him than avoid him altogether.

We were in a travel ball tournament last year and intentionally walked a guy. It was the last inning and they had the tying run on third and the go ahead run on second with 2 outs. We intentionally walked a kid to put a force at every base. The play worked out as the next batter grounded out to one of the force bases that we may not have been able to get the guy at first. That move was more strategic than trying to avoid a certain player.
