Most Clutch Performers in MLB

The Top Ten
1 David Ortiz David Américo Ortiz Arias, nicknamed "Big Papi," is a Dominican American former professional baseball designated hitter and occasional first baseman who played 20 Major League Baseball seasons, primarily with the Boston Red Sox, but also with the Minnesota Twins.

Ortiz has came up big in many clutch situations. Also Ortiz has clutch hits off Mariano Rivera.

I miss Ortiz so much. He was incredible for the Sox.

2 Mariano Rivera Mariano Rivera is a Panamanian-American former professional baseball pitcher who played 19 seasons in Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees, from 1995 to 2013. Nicknamed "Mo" and "Sandman", he spent most of his career as a relief pitcher and served as the Yankees' closer for 17 seasons.

Does clutch mean delivering a key play that changes the likely outcome of the game so that your team is now in position to win? If so, how is it clutch to enter the game only at the very end and only when your team is already winning? Or, maybe clutch means guarding the status quo for 1/18th of a game? If the latter, then Rivera is clutch.

David ortiz is not at all a good clutch player. He just sometimes hits a home run every once and a while. Rivera makes sure the Yankees end up with a win by shutting down the other team's hitting.

its gotta be rivera ortiz sucks

9 CC Sabathia Carsten Charles Sabathia Jr. is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball.
10 Albert Pujols José Alberto Pujols Alcántara is a Dominican American professional baseball first baseman for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball.

A-Rod is an Albert Pujols wanna be. Pujols is clutch. A-rod is not.
