second worst in the MLB among 3rd basemen.

I though I just read someone posting about his good OPS in "clutch" situations.

Nice post h0rt. I think the best way to measure clutch is as they have done. Use win expectancy data with play by play data.

If you check Tav's link, you'll see those aren't thoughts from my own head -- rather I read that exact article, and figured I'd post the portion of it I found most interesting to see what people thought. So, if you're saying nice post meaning "thanks for bringing this up" I accept all credit. But I did no work what so ever.

Ah, you tricked me! You simply copied and pasted!

In that case, I guess it's a good thing you don't have an expert icon.

Thanks for bringing it up though. I have tried explaning how clutch can be calculated well previously but couldn't give any links (as I read it in BP's book). Now it's there for the world to see!

This might be interesting to look at as career-long stat, adjusted for the player's overall rates (Is a guy who hits .350/.450/.600 in clutch situations instead of his usual .330/.400/.550 really better than a guy hitting .300/.400/.500 in the clutch vs. overall numbers of .270/.330/..400 really more "clutch"? Not in my book.), but as it is presented above, it may be interesting to look at but it doesn't really mean anything.

Get a bigger sample size and adjust for overall numbers. Then we'll talk.

not being a power hitter he may not have come up as big in his top 15 chances, but any clutch thread deserves a mention of the great Michael Young.

over the past THREE YEARS he is hitting .373 with RISP and .415 with RISP and 2 outs.

19/38 (500) with the bases loaded.,
