3-0 count sounds like the pitcher is struggling to me. If we need base runners in a close game, my batter better take. If give "green light " to a decent batter on a 3-0 count, she will chase/reach for a border line pitch. Nothing more selfish to me than chasing a pitch simply because you want swing the bat. That's a good way to make a bad pitcher look good. Its a team effort for a win and if you reach 1st on a walk who cares its about a disciplined batter. The mentality of "nobody walks of the island" doesn't really apply here in my opinion. Those kids don't have a chance in life unless they can catch the eye of a scout. Not too many girls playing at professional level earning checks like professional baseball players.
