Visualise what is happening water flow wise in the pin area, focus in on a pin a couple of rows back from the jet impingment zone, look at the shadow area behind the pin, do you really think that you'll have a little bit of dead water just sitting there? having 0 interaction with the very fast flow of highly turbulent water streaming past 1mm either side of it?
No, you're right, but only because the pin's shadow isn't in a straight line with the inlet and flow direction.

You could try the same pin pattern, but made from 45 degree cuts.
