Not to be too high and mighty, but try pitching a big league game. The hitter isn't watching a strike always to see the release. 99% of the time he is sitting first pitch spot and pitch and if its not there, he's willing to give a strike to reset on another pitch. The scouting reports dictate this, just like the pitcher's scouting report tells the pitcher who the first pitch swingers are. If the pitcher is scouted to be a strike thrower who gets ahead with his fastball, hitters go up lookin fastball. It really isn't much harder than that

Good points. But I do see some hitters hardly even stride at the first pitch, even in key at bats late in the game. They were taking all the way. Of course, all hitters are different. But I will agree that some hitters are looking location, or pitch type early on. That's part of being patient and not "hacking at the first strike thrown".
