Clutch Performer of the Month / Clutch Performer of the Year Award

Clutch Performer of the Month Award

The Clutch Performer of the Month Award is presented by Pepsi to the player who performed his best when the game was on the line. Voted on by the fans through a website, and officially recognized by Major League Baseball, the "Major League Baseball Clutch Performer of the Month Presented by Pepsi" award started in April 2007.

Clutch Performer of the Year Award

The Clutch Performer of the Year Award is the culmination of a season-long campaign in which fans voted for six different Clutch Performer of the Month Award winners. The nominees each month were selected by a special MLB.com editorial panel, and that is again the case for the season award. No matter who won the monthly awards, this vote is based on the regular season.

"He (Alex Rodriguez) is without a doubt the best player in baseball, but I only hope that someday he might be as a good a player as he is a person." - Texas Rangers Manager Jerry Narron
