Three True Outcomes

Special thanks to Recondite Baseball who do a fantastic job of pointing out the little particularities in baseball that make us love it so much. They compiled this list of the highest percentage of TTO which include homers, walks, and strikeouts. Not surprising that Adam Dunn is the all time TTO king

  1. Read a similar article a few yrs back on BP's site, actually.

    Chris Davis has a career 45.6% TTO rate over his 594 PA career (largely due to the poor BB%). This season he posted a ridiculous 52.7% TTO rate; hell, Carlos Pena even has a 51.2% TTO this season.
