First pitch strategy
Dave is at it again on first-pitch at bats:
The red lines are for out-of-zone and black is in the strike zone. Dotted means “take” and the undotted means “swing”. So, you perform best when you take an outside pitch (puts you at 1-0 which is great) and worst when you swing at an outside pitch (likely puts you at 0-1 or weak contact).
This is the cool part: taking on a pitch inside the strike zone (forces you at 0-1) is BETTER than swinging at an outside pitch. If you swing at a pitch outside the strike zone, pray you don’t make contact. You’d be better off.
(Doesn’t apply to all hitters. Individual hitters may vary.)
