Again, I only know what I observe and don't spend much time analyzing.
Seems like the Reds offensive strategy was to hit the first pitch because it was likely to be a FB strike.
I guess if I am the pitcher and I know this because the scouting reports make it clear, I have a bit of an edge.
Now, I agree that if the first pitch is one you can hammer, by all means ... hammer it.
I don't think Cozart and Frazier are lost causes, mainly because both of them have a Z in their name. That's rare and should be exploited.
Seriously, I don't expect miracles -- one or two hits more a week by everybody would really matter. And by a hit, I generally mean -- just be on base.
