[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 421048, member: 322"] OK, not a lot to talk about so I'll resurrect this question I had. I'm trying to channel any #FredOptimism I can. I think it's mostly bad luck. And hopefully it will turn very soon! In April I just heard on WREK that we batted a meek 265 overall. Our RISP average was worse at 213. But from what I've read and had in mind when I originally posted was “The Book: Playing the Percentages in Baseball” 2006 edition. Chapter 4 “Clutch Hitting” makes the point for “clutch’ situations that hitting performance is highly random due to small sample size (my summary of 13 pages). Then there are two other articles which update to 2013 and 2014 saying about the same thing: [SIZE=1][URL]https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/a-plea-to-stop-the-obsession-with-risp-batting-average/[/URL] [URL]https://www.fangraphs.com/community/taking-a-closer-look-at-hitting-with-runners-in-scoring-position/[/URL][/SIZE] Now this is for MLB players and it may be different in the college game since the players aren't as proven. But there was no evidence of anything other than bad luck that I could find. So it's time to break out! [/QUOTE]
