Maybe you will, but you ensure that the player will also have about 0 extra base hits with 2 strikes. Is that better? And he'd probably lose hits on line drives he hit with 2 strikes that are now dribblers. You have to account for the success the player actually had with 2 strikes.
OK, let's use 2013 Austin Jackson. 286 AB, 129 whiffs after getting two strikes. 41 singles, 7 doubles, 3 triples, 4 homers. We'll turn all those xbh into singles. 55 hits. Now, let's turn that 129 whiffs into 25 hits. What's better? The 80 singles or 41 singles, 7 doubles, 3 triples, 4 homers?
