no not in baseball. 300 PA is small.
Would you give a guy a long term contract off of 300 PAs? no.
Guys can get 600 PA of luck let alone 300 PA.

[quote name="Osh Kosh Bosh"][quote name="DarthSka"]Wait, how is 300 plate appearances a small sample size?
Comparatively, sure.
But 300 of something is A LOT.[/quote]

No.
But if I'm the manager, is 300 PA enough to help me make a decision for one guy over another? Absolutely.
Is 300 PA a number that's going to make me just say, "Enh, only 300 PA? Not enough. Toss be some dice, since I literally have no idea who to send up to pinch hit right now. May as well toss the dice"?
No way.

I'm not sure what being a bluejay fan has anything to do with it. Given what just happened if I was biased I would be arguing that bautista is clutch.
of course you can get luck in the post season, just because it's october doesn't make it immune to the randomness of baseball.
Basbeall player who is good at home runs hits a lot of home runs.
FYI Fangraphs clutch stat (how much better or worse a player performs in high leverage situations) Bautistas been negative the past 2 years.

all these people arguing for the existence of clutch skill better be advocating hard for their squad to give Daniely Murphy a 15+ Mill a year.

baseball is game that is subject to more randomness than any other sport, hard hit balls can land in gloves, soft grounders get squirt through holes.
Baseball has the most randomness, thats why you need 162 to figure out who should make the playoffs.

Cheaitn is like the one constant in the history of the game.
I mean it's embedded in every era.
It's a game of cheaters.

murphy has one stretch of games...and i don't even know if half those homers are "clutch".
david ortiz has a "clutch" factor. murphy ain't even close to anything like that
