Barry Bonds (Major Leagues: 1986-2007)
If Barry Bonds’ MLB career had not been tainted by performance-enhancing drug use, he’d likely be regarded as the only hitter that could compare to Babe Ruth. Instead, Bonds is still waiting to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in spite of a mind-blowing career. By far, Bonds has the best OPS of all the players since the Expansion Era started, and the fourth-best in history. Among all of the pure position players, he has the highest wins above replacement. He also holds the career home run record, with an amazing 762, and holds a spot in the top five for total bases, slugging percentage, and RBIs.

Hank Aaron (Major Leagues: 1954-1976)
“Hammerin’ Hank” might be the best power hitter of all time seeing as he was the one who finally broke the career home run record of Babe Ruth, and held it for more than three decades. Every season between 1955 and 1973, Aaron amazingly hit 24 homers, at the least. Aside from crushing baseballs, he accumulated the third most total hits and holds the record for the most RBIs. The total base that Aaron collected during his career is 6856, the most of any player. In the playoffs, Aaron was also clutch and earned a career slugging percentage of .710 in the postseason, the ninth-best ever.
