taking the first strike/pitch

Posted by: bob (regalbobg@comcast.net) on Sat Apr 10 17:02:06 2004

can anyone give me any research as to whether or not taking the 1st pitch/strike makes the hard skill of hitting a softball that much harder? after all, you are becoming a hitter who now only has 2 strikes left to work with. i can see if your team is losing later in the game, or if you are a leadoff hitter with some speed, but i need proof that taking the 1st pitch is beneficial. thanks
