ahh the old gotta see a lotta pitches cliche. Plenty of terrible hitters see a lot of pitches, Jason Kendall comes to mind, and plenty of great hitters hit the first good pitch they like. I consider seeing pitches to be one the most useless stats there is in determining a hitter's ability. Nothing annoys me more than watching a batter take straight as an arrow fast ball down the middle of the plate just because they never swing at the first pitch only to pop up a curve ball 3 pitches later. It wasn't a remark about the quality of the hitter but rather the type of hitter. I remember when Yuni would bat I wouldn't move from the couch bc I knew his at bat would be over shortly. A little nostalgia is all... carry on.
