Clutch players of 2009

By Tangotiger

Congratulations Ryan Howard! Howard, already a great hitter (+3.4 situational wins as a hitter), bumped it up to +6.0 wins when you considered the inning and score. The anti-clutch hitter was a tight race, but I’ll go with the D’Backs Chris Young. He already was having a bad season, and his performance in clutch situations made him even worse.
