There is one game in particular that really made me realize just how bad the hitting points system is at times.
My first at bat I had a 6 or 7 pitch groundout to the shortstop and I got a 16 or 17 points for a good at bat. Second at bat I lined a first pitch fastball to left center for a double and got 5 points for an OK at bat. In my third at bat (this is the one that I don't get at all) a hit and run is called and I double to right center driving in the run but I got 0 points for a poor at bat.
I think they put way too much emphasis on working the count. A 6 pitch groundout gets more points than a 1 or 2 pitch groundout even if you jump on a first pitch fast ball thats cock high.

Agreed, I think it's a combo of working the count (which I'm terrible at) and hitting the ball squarely (aka hard). I've done the same as you with first pitch doubles, or homeruns and received "ok" at bat or "good at bat" (for a homerun) when normally those would be good/great at bats had the count been 2-0 or 3-1.
I did once have a 10+ pitch at bat where I eventually singled or something stupid and got a 40 point great at bat.
I would also point out that in rare instances that a throwing error is made on a bunt attempt I would have been safe on, I'll get a poor at bat simply because there was an error that the game assumes I would have been out on, when it was clear I was safe easily.
