Bregman Admits Clutch Slump, and Data Itself Supports the Claim
Alex Bregman bluntly said, “I’ve been terrible” in big moments, and FanGraphs data backs him up: his high-leverage plate appearances rank among MLB’s worst with a -10.45 RE24 and around -1.11 REW, despite appearing in the top-20 for pLI. The piece points to an 0-for-5 night ending with a game-tying popout in an extra-innings Cubs–Giants loss at Wrigley to illustrate the ongoing slump.
