an additional idea on "pitch around" .. it seems to work well when you're ahead in the count 0-2 or 1-2 ... particularly if the batter has poor "Eye/Patience". seems to increase the chance of a strikeout, and cut down at least a bit on the batters hits and long hits... though of course oftentimes you end up given up a ball or two, and then you're back to a neutral count.. and no longer to "pitch to the corners".

Maybe its my imagination, but I feel I've had rather good results when I am ahead on the count, with a poor "eye/discipline" batter, and "pitch around".
(it makes sense from a real life perspective, why not nibble on the corners if you are ahread on the count to a batter with a poor eye or poor patience.)
