I have posted before on this. The idea is to find players who led their
league in a speed stat, a power stat and an on-base stat in the same
year.
These are the stats I used:
Speed (triples, SBs, SB%)
Power (SLG, ISO, HRs, TBs, extra-base hits)
Getting on base (OBP, times on base)
Recently I searched for leaders in XBT% who might qualify. XBT% is the percentage of times a runner advanced more than one base on a single or more than two bases on a double.
Acuna led the NL in a speed stat (SB, 73), an on-base stat (OBP .416, times on base, 306) and a power stat (TB, 383)
See Triple Threat Triple Crowns to see all of the past winners. Also see Newly discovered "triple threat" triple crowns using XBT%.

I noticed your speed calculations and it seems Stolen Bases are mainly predicated on Speed?
Thanks for reading and commenting. Speed certainly helps with SBs but timing and reading the pitcher are important, too. Maybe instead of speed I should call it a base running stat
