Which Atlanta Braves Are Actually CLUTCH and Who Are RISP Merchants? | Atlanta Braves Podcast

On Braves Today, Lindsay Crosby breaks down the difference between clutch hitting (high-leverage plate appearances) and simply hitting with runners in scoring position, grouping Braves hitters by performance—highlighting Mauricio Dubón as elite in both, noting “RISP merchant” splits like Austin Riley, and spotlighting clutch-only standouts like Matt Olson. The episode also examines why the Phillies’ surge under Don Mattingly hasn’t cut deeply into Atlanta’s division lead, citing run differential, one-run game results, and a difficult remaining schedule, then previews the Braves’ series vs an improved, injury-hit White Sox team with likely pitching matchups and key Chicago bats.
