Secondary Average All-Time Leaders on Baseball Almanac

Career Leaders for Secondary Average

Secondary Average is a SABERmetric statistic that attempts to describe a hitter's overall effectiveness. Secondary Average (SEC) is a tool used to gauge a player's ability to produce extra bases independent of their batting average. In other words, Secondary Average covers the three primary factors of an offensive contribution to a team outside of their batting average — power (extra bases), eye (walks) and speed (stolen bases).

Important notes: 1,000 career games played & at-bats are needed to make this list, raw averages are presented to further clarify the one-thousand greatest career secondary averages of all-time, and a bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.

"Barry Bonds is clearly the most talented athlete I have had the pleasure to coach (at Arizona State University). We all knew he would do well in professional baseball, but how could anyone dream that his accomplishments would be this great this quickly." - ASU Coach Jim Brock in the Arizona Republic (1993)

Name	Secondary Average	Rank
Current Through 2011 Season

Why is the Secondary Average statistic not used too commonly? Should it be? Is it better than on base percentage or slugging average? Share your opinion on our baseball message boards today where we have an entire forum dedicated to advanced statistics.

Slugger extraordinaire Barry Bonds is simply in a league of his own when it comes to Secondary Average. He is the only player with a Secondary Average over .599 and one of only four in Major League history over .499.

The American League player with the highest Secondary Average on one club only was Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox. His National League counterpart is Mike Schmidt of the Philadelphia Phillies.
