Clutch Hitting Leaders, 1987-2001

by Cyril Morong

This list gives the leaders in various situations for the years 1987-2001. The situations are listed in the following order: Close and Late, with Runners in Scoring Position, with Runners in Scoring Position and 2 outs, with Runners on Base, and finally for All Plate Appearances or At-Bats. Players are ranked in four statistics: batting average (AVG), on-base percentage (OBP), slugging percentage (SLG), and OPS, which is OBP plus SLG. Close and Late means situations when the game is in the 7^th inning or later and the batting team is leading by one run, tied, or has the potential tying run on base, at bat or on deck.

The qualification: 6000 or more plate appearances, 1987-2001. There were 71 players. For the following players, OBP was calculated using only walks, hits and at-bats: Albert Belle, Brett Butler, Joe Carter, Chili Davis, Gary Gaetti, Ozzie Guillen, Paul Molitor, Eddie Murray, Terry Pendleton and Tony Phillips. I also only had data on them for RISP and CL. This is because their situational stats were not listed at the cnn/si site and I took their data from STATS Player Profiles books. I did not have data for those ten players for Runners in Scoring Position and 2 outs and with Runners on Base.

The last list shows each player’s OPS in close and late situations relative to his OPS in non-close and late situations. 67 OF 71 PLAYERS HAD AN OPS IN CLOSE AND LATE SITUATIONS THAT WAS WITHIN 10% OF THEIR OPS IN NON-CLOSE AND LATE SITUATIONS. 52 WERE WITHIN 5%.

This suggests that players generally hit about the same in clutch situations as they do in non-clutch situations. It also appears from the last list that switch hitters seem to be better at maintaining their normal OPS in close and late situations than non-switch hitters. This may be because they don’t have to face a same-handed pitcher.

But that is the basic reason why I compiled this list: To show that hitting in the clutch is not that much different than other situations. As you look at these leaders, you will notice that the best hitters overall tend to be the best hitters in the various situations.

NOTE: I FOUND DISCPREPENCIES IN THE RISP WITH 2 OUT DATA ON JULY 9, 2009. PLEASE SEE THE EXPLANATION AT THE END OF THE SITE.

CL/NCL shows the ratio of a hitter’s OPS in close and late situations to his OPS in non-close and late situations.

The *1.045 means that a player’s OPS in close and late situations was multiplied by 1.045 since this is the average ratio for all players of OPS in non-close and late situations to close and late situations. Since players generally do 4.5% worse in CL situations, their CL OPS is raised by this amount to better see how each individual deviates in those situations.

S** indicates that the hitter is a switch hitter

The CNN/SI website provided situational statistics for hitters active in 2001. I downloaded the data needed to compile these lists last January. CNN/SI is not providing the exact same information right now for individual players.
