helton enjoyed arguably his best season in 2000, leading the major leagues in batting average (.372), rbi (147), doubles (59), total bases (405), extra base hits (103), slugging percentage (.698) and ops (1.162). he led the national league in hits (216) and on-base percentage (.463). helton hit a league-leading home batting average of .391 and placed third in the national league in road batting average (.353). helton's mlb-leading 103 extra base hits tied for the fourth most in mlb history and the second most in nl history. his national league-leading numbers in on-base percentage, slugging percentage and batting average gave him the "percentage triple crown." helton became the second rockies player (larry walker in 1999) to accomplish that feat. helton and walker made the rockies the first team in mlb history to record percentage triple crowns in consecutive seasons with different players. helton became only the fourth player in national league history to lead the nl in both batting average and rbi. he became the first player in national league history and the fifth player in mlb history (babe ruth, lou gehrig, jimmie foxx and hank greenberg are the others) to have at least 200 hits, 40 home runs, 100 rbi, 100 runs, 100 extra base hits and 100 walks in one season.
