Leverage Index splits, now available at b-r.com!

By Tangotiger, 09:22 AM

I furnished Sean my Win Expectancy and Leverage Index charts on the expressed condition that anything he publishes from it be given to the public for free.  And here it is.  Tim Raines, as we can see, is a Clutch Hitter.  In high leverage situations, he’s above his career norms, despite the fact that he faces tough relief pitchers (who, by the way, he also eats for lunch… check out his splits against relievers).  Sean’s got alot more splits too, enough to waste the rest of the week.

Mariano Rivera doesn’t do as well in high-leverage as he does in low-leverage situations.  Note: watch those IBB.  Goose, on the other hand, shows a clear split the other way.
