Maybe there's a difference between "better hitter" and "most valuable hitter." To use a Cubs example, Mark Grace was a better hitter, but Sammy Sosa was more valuable. In the 9th, they'd walk Grace to face Sammy.

This is really a silly question. Who is a better hitter?


Ichiro.

If the question was who is better power hitter, clutch hitter, RBI producer, RISP, etc then perhaps the answer changes.

Until the question gets clarified, I'm going with he-who-gets-the-most-hits is the better hitter, or he-who-has-best-batting-average is the best hitter. On either counts, Ichiro wins.

Your Mom,

Quick question: What do you think the difference is between AAA pitching and big league pitching as a "whole."

Also, a run in the 1st is of equal value to a run in the 9th.

I'm sure I will get alot of flack for this, but whatever.

Really... I thought they multiplied runs by the inning in which they were scored to tally the final score.

Everytime I hear of clutch hitting I think of Aaron Boone and imagine him as a first ballot HoF for being so "clutch" and then I throw up in my mouth a little bit.

With sample sizes so small most of the clutch hitting stats are redonk. And most of the best clutch hitters are bench players for craptastic teams.

Why does the quantity of hits matter, but not the quality of the hits?

This is something my Dad always says when we argue over Pete Rose : The hardest thing to do in sports is hit a baseball, and he has done this more times than anyone.
