I’ve often heard Alex Rodriguez is the king of meaningless home runs. Is there any statistic that takes “Clutchness” into account? For pitching or hitting? Something along the lines of a stat where individual at bats are weighted based on their potential affect on the outcome of a game (i.e., taking the lead, or effectively putting a game away)?

Well for quite a while Alex Rodriguez was just the king of Home Run’s in general. So it stands to reason he’d have a lot of meaningless home runs, along with the shitton of others he’d always hit. I believe he actually had really high WPA scores.
