[QUOTE="leatherneckjacket, post: 1009875, member: 3849"] I completely disagree that getting on base by a walk is better than getting on base by a single. I do not think any manager, pitching coach or pitcher would agree with you. Walks are almost always worse than singles. Throwing strikes allows pitchers to leave the zone and leads to softer contact. Throwing balls does the opposite. They run up pitch count, and can often lead to more walks or harder contact as the pitcher tries to get the ball in the zone. Let me put it this way, the on base percentage for walks is 100%. The on base percentage for non walks is less than 25%. Throwing strikes is the best way to win games. Giving up an occasional hit, including home runs, is better than constantly creating traffic on the bases as you walk batters trying to avoid hard contact. [/QUOTE]
