Whenever I read criticism of a good hitter for not being selective enough about the pitches he swings at, I always wonder if the guy would be as effective a hitter if he were to be less aggressive and more selective. I'm sure that the answer to that varies from hitter to hitter, but it seems to me that it's a point commonly overlooked by some fans. For example, I sometimes read people criticizing Adrain Beltre for being too much of a free swinger. Would a hitter like Beltre be better if he were to be more selective about the pitches he swings at?
