"intentional Walks" defined

Global definition: Used by managers and coaches in competitive upper level divisions or professional baseball as a tactic in which to strategize either for or against game-winning situations; or in most scenarios"respecting" the batter's ability to connect on a pitch for a likely homerun or a run-scoring base-hit.

My definition: Teaching [pitchers] adolescents the art of avoidance and not challenging themselves to face adversities much like in real-life scenarios. Rather than resolve conflict, hold up four and dismiss it.
