In HS and college it seems to me that an incredible number of batters are being hit by a pitch. My sense is that coaches definitely teach their batters to get hit. I've seen coaches yell at batters for trying to get out of the way of the pitch.
So how do they go about this and where should the line be drawn if at all?
Do coaches tell their batters to crowd the plate, especially with 2 strikes, and turn into anything inside?
Do they tell them to "wear" any breaking pitch in?
What do coaches teach? Is it getting out of hand?
