However, if we extend the criterion to all time baseball players, there is a player with an even higher percentage: Joey Gallo.

As of my knowledge cutoff of September 2021, Joey Gallo had 1,967 career at-bats, 600 strikeouts, 142 home runs, and 211 walks, giving him a total of 742 plate appearances where he either struck out or hit a home run. He also had 2,411 total plate appearances. Dividing 742 by 2,411 gives a career percentage of 30.8%.

Therefore, as of my knowledge cutoff of September 2021, Joey Gallo had the highest career rate of strikeouts plus home runs divided by plate appearances among all baseball players with at least 2000 plate appearances. However, it's worth noting that his career is still ongoing, so this could change in the future.
