One of the fun things about baseball is that almost certainly, no matter how long you’ve watched it, you’ll still probably believe a thing or two that isn’t true. You might believe that the leadoff hitter should be a guy with really great speed who can steal some bases. You might believe that your second hitter should be able to hit behind runners and bunt. After all, those things were believed for many years.
If lineup construction isn’t your thing, you might really believe that clutch hitting is a particular skill. Despite statisticians consistently telling us that over time, players tend to generally perform back to their average in almost every situation.
