ARod! That proves that WPA works…
Two of the guys that the Fans chose as anti-clutch (ARod and Atkins) happen to be #1 and #3 on the choking-leader list.
In the 57 highest-leverage situations, you managed to get 4 IBB. Why? Managers really thought that the choke tag wasn’t true. In the other 53 PA, you had a .267 batting average, .358 OBP, and a lousy .356 slugging. It is very difficult for someone that good to perform this bad when the game was on the line. But, you did it. Congratulations, once more.
