Ethier Clutch... Again!

Even with the season over, Andre Ethier is still winning. In online fan voting on MLB.com, Ethier was named MLB Clutch Player of the Year. Ethier, who hit a career-high 31 home runs this season while driving in 106 to go along with 42 doubles and 96 runs scored, led the Majors with six walk-off hits, including four home runs.

From MLB.com:

Ethier's six walk-off hits were the most in one season for a Major Leaguer since at least 1974, one more than David Ortiz's five for Boston in 2006, Ken Hrbek's five for Minnesota in 1987 and Cory Snyder's five for Cleveland in 1987. The four walk-off homers were the most for any player in a season since at least 1974.

Ethier had three walk-off hits in June alone: June 5, a two-run double that beat Philadelphia, 4-3; June 6, his second home run of the game coming in the 12th inning of a 3-2 win over Philadelphia; and June 29, a two-run homer in the 13th inning to beat Colorado, 4-2.

But he also hit two homers against San Diego in a 6-4 win June 9; he had a two-run triple in a 6-4 win over Anaheim June 20; and his first three-homer game with six RBIs in an 8-2 win over Seattle June 26. On the month, he slugged nine of his team-high 31 homers.
