Clutch Index

Late, close and loud

Clutch Index

Every homer earns a Clutch+ value from four inputs: how late the inning is, how tight the score is, whether there were runners in scoring position (and two outs), and what the swing actually did — walk-off, go-ahead, game-tying, insurance or garbage time. A player's Clutch Rating is their leverage-weighted average on a 0-99 scale.
