A quick one today: here are the players who have hit the highest percentage of their home runs during the post-season:<\/p>\n

The list is current through the end of the division series and is in ascending order of post-season homers. Missing entries have fewer home runs and a lower percentage than the entries shown. For example, the highest percentage for a player with three is Larry Gardner with 3 of 30, a lower percentage than Lenny Dykstra. I did keep the three players behind Goldschmidt because he is unlikely to continue to hit 20% of his home runs in the postseason.<\/p>\n
The top three entries (and Dave McNally) are pitchers.<\/p>\n
Players with 400 or more home runs who failed to hit a single post-season round-tripper:<\/p>\n
