I'm sure you're correct. I can't help wondering if at any point in his career a coach or manager has taken Hill aside and told him, "There's no point in being a switch hitter if you can't hit for [expletive] from either side of the plate. Stop making an ass out of yourself." This isn't the same as your scenario, but I found it interesting that Koyie Hill has been intentionally walked 13 times in his career. Logic would suggest its because he hits in front of the pitcher, but Koyie Hill is pretty much like a pitcher. In fact there are probably several pitchers that have a better OPS than Hill's career .571 (and .547 in the last 3 seasons). And how often are pitchers IBed with runners on second? (I have no idea)
