With runners in scoring position, Tyler Clippard yields the lowest opponent OPS in the majors. Batters are hitting only .087/.154/.217 in these situations -- a .371 OPS that is 65 points below the total for the next most effective pitcher, Johnny Venters. This is one reason why Tyler Clippard is among the best relievers in the game.
