I know those are all stats. But none of them are specific to the ninth inning (with good reason). And none of them get someone into the hall of fame (with good reason). If the 9th inning matters more, shouldn't there be ninth inning specific statistics (and be highly valued) for players on the field trying to bring their team to the victorious conclusion? Throwing the guy out from deep shortstop in the 9th surely must be more significant and require equal or more ability than the same throw in the 3rd.
