You may evaluate players by stats alone.
I dont.
It's not 1984 anymore. As a coach we don't go by gut instinct and the eyeball test. This is why the (game) manager is worth less in today's game than say the general manger. This wasn't true 20 years ago but it is now.
If it's a skill (being clutch) we can quantify it. While a player can get hot and hit in clutch situations I have never had a player who can consistently duplicate it.
Sure if she is hitting .585 she probably did have some clutch hits. She also hit in non-clutch situations as well.
Good hitters hit well often.
