To further clarify - it was a 10 year old ball game and I had a pretty fast pitcher in the game. I felt for the kid because I could tell he didn't have much skill at the plate and it seemed like he was coached to do this when facing a good pitcher. In the spirit of sportsmanship, I said nothing, but after foul ball number ten (this went on forever....) I started getting frustrated. After that many pitches he had worked the count full and almost got the base-on-balls. My pitcher couldn't believe what he was doing. Finally, he did make contact and the result was a slooooooow roller back to the pitcher.
Thank god my pitcher finally threw a good enough pitch to hit the bat solid.
