Nolan Arenado 2016 card

PostSat May 06, 2017 5:53 pm

Having suffered through a season with Arenado as my primary offensive player who yielded 105 rbi (28 short of his actual number), I got to thinking about his card. In real life, Arenado was a monster who hit .385/.500/.731 with 2-out RISP (http://www.baseball-reference.com/playe ... #all_clutc), which is 91 points higher than his season average of .294/.362/.570. With clutch production such as that you might think that he'd pick up a clutch hit or two at 5,6,7,8 or 9; however, a review of his card reveals that he loses clutch points (-2 vs LHP and -2 vs. RHP) [http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/91754/2016/1/2016/432661]. Not sure how this can be justified other than someone at strat-o didn't particularly care for Nolan. I'd really love an explanation that justifies docking Arenado clutch hits when the data doesn't support such an action.

The consensus on the boards over the years has been that clutch is used as an RBI adjuster for the player. It doesn't reflect, necessarily, a players RISP average.
