If there's nothing to it, then why have a penalty in the first place?

You have to get used to a different game pace and used to coming in to hit after sitting on the bench for most of the game. You're kind of like a pinch hitter that gets used a few times, it takes a different approach to be successful that way. Learning how to maximize your hitting in that role would be what you're training up in.
