I brought up that I felt hitters swung away (and made weak contact) far too often with 3-0 counts in the past and the response was that the count doesn't really make a difference in the probabilities. It's more or less just a cosmetic thing. To your point, your hitter is no more likely to crush the ball on a 3-1 count than he is on an 0-2 count.

That said, the strategy of taking pitches does serve some purpose as it will work the opposing pitcher's pitch count
