A college player is a lead off batter, most RBIs on the team thru 8 games, 2Ks, does not take on a 3-1 pitch, is taken out of the game to sit after the inning even though the player hit a single and scored 2. Coach says his rule of thumb is on any 3-1 count you will ALWAYS take the pitch. Even if it a clock shot, you take and work it to 3-2 or walk. RISP and 0, 1, or 2 outs do not matter. Instead of treating each batter based on his particular skills, the coach says he has too many free swingers so this is the rule!
