Does everyone feel better about themselves, now that they condescendingly regurgitated sabermetric orthodoxy in response to what was an honest question?
Moreover, the question was about OOTP, not real-life baseball. It is hardly heretical to ask the OP’s question regarding a sport simulation game. For example, in FM, FHM, and EHM there are mental ratings that impact the ability to perform in big games, etc.
I have seen no documented information or evidence to suggest that there is a type of clutch factor in OOTP. At the same time, while a reasonable starting point, blithely assuming that the OOTP engine always models in practice accepted analytical thought is a fraught default attitude.
Generally speaking, the deliberate opacity in the descriptions of several aspects of the game are sufficient to in many cases preclude the averment of beliefs as facts so regularly undertaken on this forum.
