The discipline rating in this game allows you to check swings easier and not just blow through chasing as much.
Joey Votto's Im sure is high where as Todd Fraizier If I remember correctly wasnt
Player vision in this game allows you to cover more of the plate and foul off tough pitches.

But ya it would be a nice touch if they had an algorithm that could calculate the quality of hitter vs quality of pitcher for the counts, and they may have one after all that just doesnt get it done correctly yet.
