Leveraged plate appearances must also apply to batters. This may be a better measure of "clutch" situations than is normally used. Pick a figure of merit for a batter (simple OPS or something more complicated, penalizing for hitting into double plays, etc.) and plot figure of merit vs. Leverage. A positive slope means he's a clutch hitter. A negative slope means he chokes. If a large enough sample shows everyone is basically flat, then there's no such thing as a clutch hitter.

I find it strange that Jacque Jones comes out as better than Torii Hunter.
