What I mean was that there was a big argument that sluggers strike out a lot, but don't care, because there seems to be a correlation with strike outs and home runs, and if they cared about striking out, they would hit less home runs. I see blocked shots being similar. Sure, they might get swatted, but it shows their attempts at going at big men or to the hoop (where a majority of shots are blocked). Obviously the stats aren't there for that yet, and it's just a theory. What do you think? I was wondering, could the blocked shot be the new strike out?
