This summer I was a videoscout at Baseball Info Solutions. While watching (many) games, I came across some questions and wrote them down. I'll try to answer each of them when I get a chance to.
Would the ratio of K looking from 3-2 count be different from other two strike counts? I think batters may be tempted to take close pitches to draw walks.
Baseballsavant.com has a great tool you can play with PITCHf/x data. I first searched for the number of strikeouts in 2014. There were 37409 of them. Among those, 9194 of them were looking.
1648 4042 .2896
9193 28213
7545 24171 .237
(I found an error in the data and tweeted to Mr. Daren Willman, and he said he'll take a look.)
