But, the guys who aren't "clutch" are the guys who get nervous when they play in front of major league scouts, or 10,000 people, or whatever. It's obvious in any walk of life that some people perform well when the pressure is on... and I would say that *all* major league baseball players are those kind of people. If being under pressure affected their performances adversely, they would have never made it to the big leagues... after all, if having to perform in front of 30,000 people plus more on TV, with journalists writing down your every move isn't a "clutch" situation, then what is?
