First, to see a lot of pitches. This gives his/her teammates the opportunity to see what the pitcher has.
Second, the worst thing for a pitcher and opposing team is the lead off batter getting on base. This gives the offense many options on moving him over and getting into scoring position with no outs.

To get on base by walking or getting a hit and if they're fast their job is to steal a base.

He wants to get on base, but he also needs to be fast. Once on base they are usually more aggressive and steal more bases.
