They would foul off pitches until they see one they like. It is sort of a modifier of eye, or vice versa. Avoid K's really only applies when there are 2 strikes.

Avoid Ks is not related to eye. Eye is for walks and is off by itself.

Avoid Ks appears to apply with fewer than 2 strikes and when playing out a game as a high avoid K guy with medium low contract is hard to H&R with. He won't leave a runner hanging often with a swing and miss but neither will he be a successful H&R guy because he doesn't put the ball in play often. Basically its a situation of low probability of the best outcome and low probability of the worst outcome.
