Is the “clutch gene” actually real in baseball—or is it just a myth we’ve created around big moments? From Derek Jeter’s walk-off, to David Ortiz in 2004, to Bryce Harper’s playoff bombs… clutch plays are part of what makes baseball so iconic. But can we actually measure clutch performance? In this video, I break down the stats behind clutch hitting, the psychology of performing under pressure, and why some MLB legends built their careers off these high-leverage moments. As a former MLB player and current analyst, I’ve seen firsthand what pressure does to players—and who rises above it. Let’s finally answer the question: Is being clutch real… or just a narrative we tell ourselves? #baseball #mlb #clutchgene #mlbplayoffs #baseballbreakdown #sportsanalytics #davidortiz #derekjeter #bryceharper #mentalgame #baseballiq #sportspsychology #showngo #baseballtalk #mlbtok #formerproathlete #bigmomentenergy #baseballfans #playoffbaseball
