I sometimes take a second strike when my pitcher is at the plate, if the count goes 2-1 or 3-1. I am actively trying to work a walk in that scenario. I don't find the strategy to be particularly effective(90% strike out rate, in my estimate), but at least the opposing pitcher is throwing those extra pitches.

I'd never take a second strike with a position player, though. Can definitely see how that could be exploitative. The mere thought makes my mouth sweat in a vomity kinda way.
