In Pro ball, if a player moves into a pitch to get hit (and gain the subsequent advantage of being awarded first base), odds are he won't have to repeat his behavior because the pitcher will gladly oblige him the first chance he gets. At 90+ mph.

Pro ball is one thing but the amateur guys are encouraged to "take one for the team" from the time they first start to play. Every time it's close some idiot in the stands will yell that. It usually the same idiot that yells "take him out" on a double play ball.
