So... Which one is how strategy works?
1) Settings are absolute possibilities of the player at bat performing an action. For example, every time he is at bat, there's a 20% possibility of a hit and run play. Regardless of outs and baserunners. So even on 3-0 pitches, he will try to swing aggressively, instead of earning a walk. On a 0-out, slow runner on 2B situation, he is still likely to risk it.
2) AI applies common baseball sense when deciding possibilities of actions and adjust them according to strategy settings. For example, on a 3-0 pitch, there's a 5% possibility of playing hit and run which is increased to 15% when the player is set to try it often. So basically, strategy sliders dictate how the AI is more/less likely to call different plays - compared to standard, neutral playcalling.
As for individual strategy settings, it would be nice if settings were relative to the overall team strategy. The team is running conservatively with quick runners somewhat more aggressively - but not as much as they usually do. But I guess that's not how they work.
