Watch ten college games and tell me if you see anyone swing at a 3-0 pitch.

Have you ever seen a coach give a batter the green light light on a 3-0 count?

can’t remember last time I saw a batter take a cut at a 3-0 pitch. You act like it happens regularly.

Depends on the situation. If crews is up with runners on second and third, you absolutely give green light rather than hoping he walks.
If there are no runners on, you take the walk. But in most cases you give hitters like crews the green light and let him sit on the fastball

If a pitcher struggling with control and can’t find the strike zone, I agree with taking until a strike. But if they’re barely missing their spots, usually it’s a meatball.

Depends on the situation to me. Hard to pass up a meatball when you are down and havent gotten many good looks

There is at least one hitter on damn near every SEC team that has the green light on all counts. It’s more common than a bunt these days.

You do realize that just because they don’t swing 3-0 doesn’t necessarily mean they weeent given the green light?
So to get back to your original question…how do you know that players are NOT given the green light on 3-0?

And A&M has some good hitters also.

This thread is really getting away from you.
I’d suggest you stop replying and maybe let it die, regroup, and then come back better.

LSU has done it on multiple occasions. Crews and Berry just about always have a green light on a 3-0 count. Dugas, Jobert, Pearson have taken 3-0 hacks. If you haven't seen it, then you haven't watched LSU play.

ULL is your common theme here. Do they have a Crews or Berry on that team? If not, that's probably why you think it NEVER happens. Players like Crews and Berry usually demolish baseballs if they get any type of slight edge. 3-0 is a slight edge to the batter. Maybe stop watching Mickey mouse teams and check out some real college baseball.
Before you throw aTm, I would be willing to bet my life savings that they have been green lighted on multiple 3-0 counts through the year.

And it depends on the pitcher also. If they’re wild, take. If they’re not, knock the cover off it.

So you develop a theory based on two out of the over 100 games games played this weekend alone, much less the thousands played this year across the country? And then say that JJ is an exception to your norm sample size of 2 games?
Again, we have no way of knowing if coaches give the green light on 3-0 or not in a lot of instances. Maybe the batter has free reign, but he chooses on his own to take. Maybe the pitcher throws a “meatball” but the batter has predetermined one pitch one spot and that wasn’t it. Maybe the batter put the take on himself not wanting to risk the out on a 3-0 pitch.

How the hell would you know if the hitter got the green light or not? Do you know the teams signs?
