First Base: Justin Morneau

Clutch: 1.53

The fifth-most clutch player in the game, Justin Morneau is hitting .309/.346/.492 with a .364 wOBA, while striking out just 11.5 percent of the time. But in high-leverage situations, Morneau has been ever better this year, hitting .403/.451/.708. With runners on base, Morneau is hitting .373/.409/.608 and with RISP he's hitting .326/.380/.522. When the Rockies are behind, Morneau steps up his game, hitting .326/.360/.529, hitting better as they get closer to a tie game. And if the Rockies go to extras, watch out. While Morneau's only had seven extra inning at-bats, he's hitting .571/.677/2.095, with two homers and five runs driven in.
