btw, The career record for highest pct of hits as singles (or at least it was when I stumbled across this question a few years back) is Maury Wills.
There was probably a 1,000 hit minimum or something along those lines.

[DocTee]

The actually gave the percentages: Castillo was at 84%, and all were over 75%

[Guest Edgy DC]

Does Edgardo Alfonzo qualify?

[Frayed Knot]

For what? Nearly 30% of his hits were for xtras

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm guessing that the last three years they weren't.
