There are pretty much 2 ways to go about leading in walks: 1, you can have a power heavy, homerun hitting team and get a lot of free passes because pitchers are afraid to give up the long ball i.e. giving up a walk with a RISP is better than giving up that tater. But you are also going to (usually) have a lot of whiffs. Live by the sword die by the sword . But to lead in walks thru patience and pitch recognition is far more rewarding as well as difficult to do. Congrats cb
