...the guy getting hit being credited with a run instead of just getting on base?

That might be a little too much of a "reward" for getting hit. But it sure seems like you'd see fewer pitchers throwing at guys for dumb stuff, like flipping a bat.

Obviously, there'd have to be some criteria - for instance, you can't have guys who suck at hitting put on all kinds of protective gear and then stand on the base and hope to get hit. It would have to be a pitch inside - if a guy gets hit on a strike, then no run.
