[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 932203, member: 4572"] I don’t agree with this. It’s definitely a case by case basis. I’m college there are absolutely hitters you just [B]cannot[/B] afford to walk because they couldn’t hit them selves out of a wet paper bag. There are also college hitter you [B]cannot [/B]let beat you. 3-0, 3-1 to the clean-up hitter with 15 bombs on the year? Don’t give him anything to hit. Make him get himself out or just put him on first. A walk there is way better than a home run or a double. That guy probably can’t run well anyway. He’s an easy force out when he’s on base. The guys you can’t afford to walk most of them time are the 1, 8, and 9 hitters. Lead off man is probably a good hitter that doesn’t have a ton of juice. A walk and a single do the same amount of damage. Make him beat you, and if he does damage tip your hat to him. Most college 8/9 hitters are just placeholders in the lineup. Sometimes they run well, but pose minimal threat at the plate. DO NOT walk these guys, but you can definitely handle a walk to the heart of the order. [/QUOTE]
