Do you think that adage applies to all positions or specifically to pitchers? Just curious.
I definitely think it would apply to everyone as a batter. After all, just as it's easy to have a great ERA against mediocre hitting, it's easy to have a great batting average against mediocre pitching. Merely being patient enough not to swing at junk and waiting for the nearly inevitable fat pitch is going to set you up well. But that doesn't prepare you for the pitchers who have nasty stuff and good accuracy, where the fat pitch never comes. IMO if you're going to learn to hit good pitching, you need to see it.
