I play exclusively Rookie and even I'm not seeing anything close to as bad as what OP describes. Usually every at bat starts with 2 way-outside balls followed by a very hittable pitch. The very odd time I may get to a 3-0 count. For the entire year I have 27 walks compared to 3,251 hits and 879 home runs. I'm definitely on the less patient side and prone to chasing bad pitches (I find it boring to have to wait 5-6 pitches every at bat for "my pitch") but I'd have way more walks than 27 if what OP said was true. My Veteran experience in Moments is way more strikes just inside the zone and balls that are barely outside.
Rookie feels like it tests your ability to spot bad pitches vs. meatballs.
Veteran feels like it tests your ability to move the PCI to the outside edge of the zone.
