I've layed out the idea of "Three True Outcome Percentage" and focused on a team during this season, and now I have looked into players past and present to try and create a "sample size" and analyze TTOP at a higher level.
Once again, a reminder of the formula for TTOP:
Strike outs +walks+ home runs÷plate appearances
Kirby Puckett: 965+450+207÷7831
Career TTOP= .207
Ricky Henderson: 1694+2190+297÷13346
Career TTOP= .313
Gary Sheffield: 1171+1475+509÷10947
Career TTOP= .288
Jose Canseco: 1942+906+462÷8129
Career TTOP= .407
Mark McGwire: 1596+1317+583÷7660
Career TTOP= .456
Sammy Sosa: 2306+929+609÷9896
Career TTOP= .388
Cecil Fielder: 1316+693+319÷5939
Career TTOP= .391
Prince Fielder: 1002+751+288÷5787
TTOP= .353
Harmon Killebrew: 1699+1559+573÷9833
Career TTOP= .389
Reggie Jackson: 2597+1375+563÷11418
Career TTOP= .397
Willie Mays: 1526+1464+660÷12496
Career TTOP= .292
Ted Williams: 709+2021+521÷9788
Career TTOP= .332
I've focused on retired players here, and a lot of Hall of Famers. I did find it worthwhile and interesting to compare Prince and Cecil Fielder to each other, and by coincidence they've had a similar number of career plate appearances (Prince through 5/15/14).
