There are a lot of baseball people who would argue that you should be aggressive at the first pitch in that situation because he might try to just get one over. That's baseball, you can have 5 different opinions on how to handle one situation.
I remember reading a book about Tony LaRussa's Cardinals where it mentioned their philosophy was to be aggressive in scoring situations like that. Always go after the first pitch fastball instead of waiting to hit a 1 or 2-strike breaking pitch.
