From what I understand, the game doesn't actually work on Pitch-by-Pitch and does it all in One Pitch mode. The only thing gained by telling your players to take a pitch is potentially artificially-inflating the pitchcount of the opposing pitcher in a way it shouldn't, as well as potentially generating more walks than you deserve, with no downside or risk.
When Joey Bagodonuts comes up to bat against Johnny Throwsalot, the game rolls and determines that this PA will end in a groundout to 2B on a 2-1 count. If you are playing in 1-pitch mode, that's the result of the PA. If you are playing in PbP mode then the game will generate pitches/results to get to that point. However if you tell the batter to keep taking pitches, you might end up with a walk or a groundout on a 2-2, 3-1, or 3-2 count instead because you forced the game to keep generating pitches beyond what it was supposed to.
