Leening into inside Baseball Pitches

Ok this was a long time coming, it's a part of baseball to take one for the team. Anyway to get on base is a good way to get on base. But when your arms, head or legs aren't on the line it's quite a bit easier to lean in on that electronic pitch.
I think that pain should be reflected in a score deduction, but this isn't a dictatorship so here's the vote.
The reason i bring this up is in Mocha's last upload, he scored 31 runs in 5 innings with 22 leaned into pitches, and in the last four innings 2 runs were scored, and guess how many leaned into pitches: 0. When i watch baseball i want to see homeruns and great defencive plays not a mambo of people walking from first to home...
Consider a score 33-4 with 22 hit by pitches, 18 actually scored
With (1) the marp score would be 33-4-22=107
With (2) the marp score would be 33-4-11=118
With (3) the marp score would be 33-4-18=111
With (4) the marp score would be 33-4=129
NOTE: if 1,2, or 3 win, this rule would ONLY be appled to games where you CAN easily get out of the way of a pitch being thrown at you.
