Well, it depends on your stat.
Here are the top 5 by the most traditional measure, OPS:
Luis Escobar .993
Dickie Scharein .991
Tim Rogers .979
Harold Wilkins .975
Jae Nakano .975
Here they are by rc/27:
Nakano 9.41
Escobar 8.78
Tomas Pascual 8.62
Scharein 8.45
Rogers 8.42
4 of 5 the same, although Nakano moves from 5th to first.
Finally, by "approximate woba (weighted on-base average)". ((2 x OBP) + SLG %)/3 ends up being a pretty good proxy for woba.
Escobar .474
Nakano .471
Rogers .466
Pascual .465
Scharein .456
Who's your pick?
Nakano is the clear choice. He has maintained the high level of excellence over far more PAs than the others on the list.
