Second Base: Neil Walker

Clutch: 1.33

Neil Walker may not be the first name you think of when it comes to clutch second basemen, but in high-leverage situations, Walker turns it on. Hitting .280/.348/.460 with a .357 wOBA overall, Walker is batting .353/.439/.482 in high-leverage situations, and .333/.380/.605 in medium leverage situations. And in his high and medium leverage plate appearances, he's struck out just 12.44 percent of the time. In addition, late in a close game, Walker is hitting .366/.408/.521 and .303/.383/.553 when the Pirates are behind.
