Getting on base is the most important thing for a lead off hitter what difference does it make if it’s walks or hits?


He isn't gonna get those HBPs in SEC play. Not with our schedule. Even with a tightened zone he isn't gonna get the walks. He's gotta prove he can at least be a threat to hit. Otherwise they're just gonna pitch him straight up and get him out.

So the SEC pitchers are too good to give up walks but will give up hits?

I’ll grant you the HBP that’s not reliable but walks and working counts are and getting on base by any means is what matters
