And speaking of statistical chance, we already know that some hitters have performed particularly well under pressure. We would expect this, for the same reason that if you flip a coin one hundred times, over and over again, eventually you'll get heads 75 times in 100. The question here is whether hitters who have hit well under pressure will hit well. And as I've been saying, no such tendency has been demonstrated, at least not to my satisfaction. Anyway, Jeff, you're right.
People perform in the clutch every day, and in many capacities.
Right, they tend to be promoted, and then promoted again. Essentially, they're athletes who have been promoted as far as they can be promoted. There is no higher league. I think that in the great majority of cases, baseball players who can't handle pressure simply don't reach the major leagues. I respectfully submit that it's not.
