Thoughts on instructing players to.....
My dd loves it when batter takes the first pitch/always a strike
I would guess that it's learned early in rec. ball for the most part, when pitchers constantly struggle to find the plate. I know it's not the norm, but would like to add there are some hitters out there who are looking for a pitch in their zone, are not afraid to hit with 2 strikes, and are able to foul off the border line pitches waiting for the mistake. Of course these hitters have no problem jumping on the first pitch if it's there.
