Arguably the most impressive player on this list is Hank Aaron.
In addition to collecting 3,771 hits, Hammerin’ Hank swatted 755 home runs. That means over 20 percent of Aaron’s hits were dingers. The next best in the top five is Stan Musial, who owns a 13 percent home run per-total-hits rate. In addition, 39.1 percent of Aaron’s hits were extra-base hits—again, the most of any player on this list.
That said, considering Ichiro’s hitting approach focuses on finding the gaps and stealing bases, 110 home runs is actually a respectable total for a slap-hitter.
