Very interesting thought process. My son is normally the #2 or #3 hitter....and makes very good contact (2K's in over 100 AB's last spring in HS). He refuses to get walked...and rarely will even have a swinging strike....both K's were looking. He's never been a leadoff hitter...but obviously does leadoff some innings. He's always had the mentality that walks are a wasted AB....so he'd very rarely....or never take a 50/50 pitch on a full count....he'll almost always at least put it in play even if it's a bad pitch. That being said, his BA last spring was .448......his OBP was .500, so obviously if he took a few more walks...instead of just being happy to get ground ball outs, his OBP would be much more impressive. We'll discuss this in the next couple days. Thanks PG....always good stuff from you.
