All of this also probably differs depending what level you play on.

As for hitters, I hardly notice tendencies about them, I look for them in players but don't get the feeling it's at all there. Their attributes are more noticeable than tendencies. Tendencies such as, swinging happy near the zone, or being extremely patient at the plate even to a fault, first pitch/early count attackers.... I've never noticed, gotten an indication that the game exercises player specific batting tendencies. I would say attributes are carrying most of the weight. If that's right I hope it will begin to change over the next few years.
I remember an at bat that I swung on an out side pitch, and missed. The next two pitches were further outside then the previous ones.. The last one looked like it was thrown at the dugout.. Next at bat, I didn't swing, but it was way outside.. Maybe a coincidence or maybe they had a pattern on me.
