The 40 HR run guy is definitely Adam Dunn.

The consistent walks guy at first glance looked like Todd Helton stats, but I figured the walks might have been too low. I think its probably Ichiro.

Adam Dunn and Ichiro are correct.
These two guys are they poster pair for OPS. In the old days people would say "Ichiro hit .350 last year, Dunn hit .260, he's way better." But thanks to OPS we have a higher plane of understanding and we know that Dunn is the better player, and by quite a significant margin.
