Intentionally striking out or getting picked off is usually obvious, and enormously insulting. I had a similar situation once, and the coach asked me privately "what can I do?" I told him to have his players try to hit ground balls right at the fielders and then try and beat them out. The outs will come, and no one is the wiser.
