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.
