The hook settings for starters in most ways are less about pitch counts, and more about situations. So, for example, moving the slider to a quicker hook is more likely to take the guy out if he gives up a few runners, whereas a slower hook maybe he tries to get through the inning. It can have an effect on pitch counts too - if you're going to the next inning and the guy is at 100 pitches, maybe a quick hook will yank him now and a slower one would see if he can get through the inning, but it's not simply a "every move of the slider is like setting a pitch count 2 pitches lower" or something like that.
