My friend's SP team will swing away at an IP if they like where it's crossing the plate. Part of it is because our team captain would rather hit the ball and put it in play than take a walk (and will razz any male that takes a hittable pitch for ball 4)

There you go, the reason for the 1-1 count. HIT THE BALL!!!

Those 48 straight balls produced 12 walks. That tournament now uses a 1-1 count, so 48 straight balls would produce 16 walks today.

I was once BU in a SP game in which I had no calls. Zero. Maybe with a couple of those swinging teams, I'd have a chance at a zero-call game as PU.
