There will be times when you just cannot buy a hit. That is why walks are important. Look at mangum and Stovall... in 82 PAs, they have 3 walks between them; that is 3.7% walk rate. Make fun of luke walking all you want, but he has a 15.4% walk rate (6 walks in 39 PAs). Getting on base helps produce runs
