Clutch players of 2009

By Tangotiger, 01:00 PM

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.

I did a little preview of the top clutch, and not so clutch players in the playoffs, last week.  I guess you can click on my name to check it out.  Nothing crazy, just looking at the numbers.

It was pretty surprising that I think everyone on the rockies had a negative clutch value.
