A term often used in sports and gaming that refers to a player's ability to perform well under extreme pressure, often at the end of a game.
The term comes from a vehicle's clutch, where timing is an important aspect for success. The value of a player's "clutchness" is a controversial topic as it involves a variety of factors and many stat geeks declare that it's an overrated attribute.
