I have a question about making clutch defensive plays. What does that mean? Does it mean that a correlation can be shown between the percentage of times he gets hitters out and the importance of the situation? Is he much more likely to not get a borderline grounder when the Yanks are 5 runs up or 5 runs down and the opposing team has no one on base? >The issue is getting a hitter out. Is that something that can be measured? If so, wouldn't a measurement be better than the instinctive averaging done by even an above average fan?
