By Kathleen W. Redman 1 What does it mean to be dependable? Someone or something that's dependable can be counted on to do something.

In fact, there's a name for a hitter who's better than anyone else on his team. He's called a "clutch hitter". He's the hitter who can score points when no one else can.
