By promoting and keeping young players that chase too many pitches, who then strikeout too much and walk not enough, I really hope it isn't encouraging other young minor leaguers to be hackers. Swinging a bat and hitting a round ball is a skill that is hard to teach. NOT swinging at a ball should be much easier to coach into a player, yet, here we are. If these guys can't control their impulses to swing at everything, get them to a doctor who will diagnose them with ADHD and get them on some Ritalin. The only batters I know who get/got an Adderall/Ritalin exception: Adam LaRoache, Shane Victorino, Carlos Ruiz, Chris Davis and Andres Torres. Every one of them can take a walk. Edit: I'm kidding of course. Unless you agree with me, then I'm totally serious.
