Meaning what? Topping out at 94?

I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear. I don’t think just throwing 94-96 would make him a unicorn. We’ve seen him get around there at times already.
I think throwing that hard over 5-6ip based on where he was at would definitely make him a unicorn.

You know you don't have to bring up his high school numbers right? We have watched him pitch at LSU for 2 years.

Over a large sample size, no not really.

I've heard too many coaches, specifically in MLB, say that this or that person has the "IT" factor to disregard it. Course, they are only major league level baseball people & not some noitall.

That’s just Coach speak
Well, quantify it, Coach?
“You just know!”

A-Rod has 1,600 plate appearances in "Late and Close" situations (7th inning or later, up by 1, or with tying run at least on deck)
a little more than 2 seasons wort of plate appearances should be a large enough sample size.
his BA dips nearly 30 points below his career average (.268 vs .295)
his OPB dips 26 points below his career average (.364 vs .380)
his slugging % dips 45 points below his career average (.505 vs .550)
his PA/RBI drops from 5.85 to 5.76
Pujols has 1,900 plate appearances in those situations.
about 2.5 seasons worth should be a large enough sample size.
his BA is roughly the same (.288 vs .296)
his OBP goes up 26 points (.400 vs .374)
his slugging does dip 42 points (.502 vs .544)
his PA/RBI goes up from 5.89 to 6.01
A-Rod's numbers go down across the board over a plenty large enough sample size.
Pujols extra base hits goes down, but he maintains or improves everywhere else. Gets on base more often and drives in runs at a higher pace.
One guy is known to be clutch
the other is known to NOT be clutch
and the numbers back it up.

That is not enough variance to label either as clutch or not clutch
Even if you can find an outlier or 10, that does not mean it is a thing considering the obscene amount of data that says other wise

I was bringing it up as a point of reference.

Not sure how I feel about clutch either way, but I have seen some consistent anomalies with hitters and bases loaded situations

"Just coach speak". Based on what facts? As opposed to "just your opinion".
Posted on 12/17/24 at 7:00 pm to wahoocs
most hitters over their career, will not have enough ABs with bases loaded to determine much of a pattern

My take, while there is no "it gene" hitting is a constant battle mentally. If a player finds success in a certain situation, he then feels more comfortable in that situation when it arrives again. Success breeds success. By the same token, failure creates stress which affects performance. Player then gets labeled "clutch" when circumstances provide the outcome.
