2 outs, runners on 1st and 3rd, and EDLC at bat and I just didn't have any faith he'd come through.

I don't know if guys can become more clutch with experience or if they're just born that way, but EDLC's career so far...
2 out & RISP: .177 BA
Late & Close: .158 BA

And he's gotten worse, not better. His 2024....
2 out & RISP: .136 BA
Late & Close: .148 BA

Has shown himself to be the anti-clutch thus far. The things he does well are so exciting and flashy, but there's just so many fundamental things he is atrocious at.

I said the same thing.

It's easy to see he has the potential to be an all time great. And I get it he's still very young. Every game that goes by though I feel what he really needs is some stronger/better coaching.
