Who swings and who takes a pitch on a 2-0 count and why?
-
I tend to look for a 2-0 pitch in a spot that I like. If it isn't in that spot, I take. 2-1 it 3-0 are both still hitter's counts.

Depends on where the ball is...

Look at the players vision and contact rate , do you have the number 9 hitter at the plate , 1 or 2 outs nobody on? Your job is to roll the lineup to the top again. The goal for 2-0 3-1 counts is extra bases, if you don't have a player who can do that at the plate work taking pitches into the strategy on and off , really only a few times its a auto take in a game
- Lead off hitter of the game 2-0 pitcher throwing super wild no where near the zone , and has not shown you a fastball type pitch to start off the game
- Late in game your down by more than 1 run and need base runners to get on
- You have a high contact , vision guy at the plate who can go deep in counts
- Lower hitter in the order 7-8-9 at the plate and the pitcher got the first 2 hitters out very easily with no effort really.
- Real life players rankings , take a look at the top BB walk guys who are not the 3-4-5 hitters in your lineup do you have one of those guys?|
- You want to practice your 2-1 and 2-2 hitting, trying to get more 3-1 3-2 counts where you can walk

On 2-0, I'm putting my PCI somewhere and sitting on the fastball. If I get it there, I have a really good shot of pulling one hard and if it's a breaking ball I can hopefully react on it. Either way as soon as I can identify it's not a fastball I'm not swinging unless it really hangs. It's essentially a risk-free strategy (but not without opportunity cost).

I swing at pitches I know I can hit. That's all there is to it. Doesn't matter the count, doesn't matter the situation (unless it's 2 strikes, obviously, then I swing at everything close to or in the zone).
-
I swing @ every pitch cuz it's not in zone anyway! :}
-
Swing bc walks are for p$ssys
-
Depends on the game situation. I'm winning or nobody's on base, I'm likely swinging.
-
Who's hitting? Who's pitching? How many outs? Any runners on base? What has the opponent thrown in this count before?
Lots of reasons why I could be swinging or taking.

I take 2-0 because I’m swinging at 3-0 and 3-1 depending on if I’m playing against a dude with a 12-6 that pitch is nasty it gets me every time
