I’m not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but we waste way too many 2 strike pitches, especially with runners on base.

Trying to get a K instead of a batted ball is definitely the goal when runners are on. In the majors 12.3% of the time on an 0-2 count is a swinging strikeout recorded outside the zone. The batting average from 0-2 to 1-2 is minimal.

Do you think pitchers should throw more in the zone? If you start doing that then other teams will catch on due to everything being data driven.

that’s exactly when you waste them. A strikeout on an unhittable pitch is a win for the defense.
