Agree with you wholeheartedly. What PG and the rest are saying is LOOK for that pitch with 0-0 count. Don't swing unless you see it. Taking a pitch for the sake of taking it is sometimes taught as a way to judge the movement on the fastball which is usually the first pitch in high school. But if you look only for that pitch that you can bust, and take anything else [even if it is a strike] the pitch will look like a bowling ball coming in there [well, at least a softball].

Good luck.
