I think the argument would be more that anything not explicitly measuring runs is a "theoretical" stat. Runs are real and the only thing that actually matters. Hits however may or may not result in that ultimate measure of success, so they are "theoretical".
Of course, you can replace "runs" with "wins" in the above and make exactly the same argument. What were we talking about again? Oh yeah, clutch.
