I think this is the first time I've noticed this: in 1991, 145 of Puckett's 195 hits were singles. His career has an interesting shape, power-wise:
His power dips during what should've been his peak power years. The dip in '88 & '89 is a bit understandable when you look at the high averages he posted (though .339 in '89 isn't that much higher than .332 in '87). But in '90 his average drops below .300 for the first time since '85, and his production has a totally different shape at the end of his "prime." But, by the time he's forced into retirement, he's essentially gone back to the hitter he was in the mid-to-late-Eighties. If you leave 1992 in place as the pivot between reality and alternate reality, this would make so much more sense:
