Talk:Is Un-Clutch Arod Learning to be Clutch?/@comment-Hebrewdude21-2006050643509

"If the hitter has the advantage in situations where runners are in scoring position (i.e. "throwing out of the stretch"), wouldn&quot;t that make BA w/ RISP all that more of an efficient measure of "clutchness" because if a guy has an awful batting average when he has all the advantage you could ask for. I&quot;m not sure how you can debunk that statistic but not debunk the fact that A-Rod&quot;s homeruns historically come after the game has already been decided." - You got it. You can hit homeruns all year and get on base all you want, but that doesn&quot;t measure how likely you are to succeed in the heat of the moment. I mean come on, you&quot;re going to tell me that A-Rod is more clutch than JETER!? And I can pretty much guarantee that Jeter&quot;s OPS is lower than A-Rod&quot;s. Jeter doesn&quot;t hit homeruns, but with the game on the line, I know I want him up there over A-Rod. As someone said before, you can tell who is clutch by seeing them play a lot, and as a Yankees fan that watches every game, I can say that Jeter has come through many more times than A-Rod. I think that using OPS as a measuring stick for clutchness is blasphemy.
