    If he was such a good athlete he would learn to hit himself.

    I do not think the A hitter is "naturally" patient. He has to learn to be patient somewhere along the way. I don't think you can necessarily teach a 22 year impatient hitter to become patient, but you can make progress at the margin. And you can affect how a teenager approaches the plate. But teaching it is a separate discussion from whether its value is overstated.

    damn you wind

    patience isn't only about drawing walks either, it is about increasing the odds that you will see a more hittable pitch during your plate appearance, forcing the pitcher to give you something better to hit than what he wants. Impatience is swinging at anything resembling a strike, and that is dumb hitting.

    What you accuse me of doing is exactly what you are doing here. You claim the only way guys can take walks is if pitchers fear them. Claiming the value of patience is overstated is a loaded term that to me makes no sense because by and large a huge portion of the baseball world doesn't give a crap about it. And too many talented players fail due at least in part to a lack of patience. It is very valuable and should be taught. Pitchers walking Kris Bryant does not illustrate anything about it being overstated.

    I've never seen such a bad baserunner

    How so? Pitchers will pitch around the elite of the elite power hitters, but not most guys. And you still have to be willing to not swing at those pitches. Sure you do. But you can't just make somebody take walks, pitchers have to be afraid of them first. No. Walks aren't only about pitchers being afraid of a hitter. Major league pitchers generally don't want to throw hittable pitches to any major league hitters. The guys who are feared the most, and patient, will have the huge walk numbers. But there are fearful hitters that don't walk and there are non-terrifying hitters who take lots of walks. Patience is very important.

    It's an opinion piece saying the writer believes the Cubs should sign Samardzija.
