When I hold back and make my strike zone small, I might take a few strikes, but the pitches I do swing at are much better. Swinging at better pitches leads to better contact and less strike outs. Just gotta find what works for you.

Same for me. I have to shrink my strike zone as well until I have two strikes. Hell I usually only look fastball before I'm down 2 striks, unless the pitcher hangs a juicy breaking ball. Then I just look to go opposite field when down to my last strike. Sometimes I think hitting's too easy....then I SLUMP and can't seem to get it back. It's wonderful!
