Actually, I think I've read the opposite. Will try to find the article.

My weather radio woke me up, so I decided to check this thread since I was up. Can't believe they just started up again.

I was going to make one if nobody else did within a half hour.

Glad that justice was served.

Found the article I remembered: http://blogs.thescore.com/mlb/2012/0...s-a-good-idea/

The numbers suggest the first pitch is a great time to rake: hitters slug the first pitch at a high rate, much higher than other even counts. Swinging at the first pitch is also wise at it represents a high likelihood of seeing a fastball. Since the beginning of the 2011 season, 57% of the first pitches thrown to qualified hitters were fastballs. 53% of those pitches were in the zone. Fastball in the zone? Pull the trigger, friends.
