Various baseball analysts, including Bill James, Pete Palmer and Dick Cramer, and the "Baseball Prospectus" editors, have found so-called "clutch hitting" ability to be a myth. This is not to say that clutch hits, like those listed above, do not exist, but that "there is virtually no evidence that any player or group of players possesses an ability to outperform his established level of ability in clutch situations, however defined". In his 1984 "Baseball Abstract", James framed the problem with clutch hitting this way: "How is it that a player who possesses the reflexes and the batting stroke and the knowledge and the experience to be a .262 hitter in other circumstances magically becomes a .300 hitter when the game is on the line? How does that happen? What is the process? What are the effects? Until we can answer those questions, I see little point in talking about clutch ability."
