I think McCatty is probably just intentionally making an exaggerated point to compensate for some people's over-emphasize on strikeouts. Strikeouts are important, just that a pitcher shouldn't try too hard for strikeouts just for the sake of it, because that could hurt you in other ways. It's just like how going for home runs all the time would hurt a hitter.

Since some pitchers might have the wrong mind set to begin with, McCatty need to exaggerate his point to help convert the pitchers.
