Kyle Schwarber is having the worst clutch season of all time

[King Felix]

He is 2-49 in high leverage situations with a wRC+ of -62. Lol, the next worst in the league is -2. Schwarber is 60% worst than the next worst.

this forum used to love to talk about the greatness of Schwarber and his overall numbers are "ok." If you normalize his defense hes about a 2.3 WAR player. Far from Babe Ruth like some have compared him to in the past.

Maybe Maddon needs to tweak the lineup for the 284th time

 

[Valuist]

Their offense doesn't revolve around Schwarber. So who cares? They have other outfield options and with likely lower scoring games in the playoffs, better defenders like Almora will see more playing time.

 

[FairWarning]

What's the difference between clutch and high leverage?

the braves manager bobby cox that let the braves to many titles in the 90's -2000's said clutch in hitting means little when asked about barry bonds WS avg. He said it all evens out. The best hitters will come to the top in the end.

Swarber not a great hitter but he is understanding the zone better than last year.
