Vlad is a -0.01 which is neutral. He’s not unclutch but he’s not clutch either. What he is is really good but it’s not like he’s better in close situations. Teoscar and to a lesser extent Bo are really the only ones who step their numbers up when it’s tight. Of course this is not really predictive it is it’s just a descriptive stat. Hopefully they can improve. And it’s not like you can’t be a good team even with that. San Diego for example I believe trails the league.
Edit: also Boston by far leads the league which likely helps explain why despite having a ####ty starting rotation they have as good a record as they do. Solid bullpen plus good hitters who can help catch them up leads to lots of close wins. |
Did you read it ? It compares the player against THEMSELF. So Vladdy - the best player in the league - hits the same in clutch vs his normal performance
You wanted him to hit better then the best player in the game in the clutch facing the best opposition ?
