One statistic that often I find missing from when talking about good offensive player is total bases. Total bases is the number of bases a player has gained with hits. It is weighted by 1 for a single, 2 for a double, 3 for a triple and 4 for a home run. The top 3 in this counting statistic in the NL were some familiar names - Pujols, Braun, and Wright. But, what if we take this counting stat a step further and convert it into a rate statistic where we see the number of total bases per at bat. The following lists the TB/AB rate statistic beginning at the .490 threshold and above.
