blocked shots
Swatted away attempts
Blocked shots are attempts to score that are deflected by a defender before reaching the goal or basket.
In basketball, a blocked shot occurs when a defensive player swats away a field goal attempt: He led the league in blocked shots.
In hockey, players block shots by positioning their bodies in front of the puck.
The statistic measures defensive impact and is tracked across most major sports.
