That is a very specific question but there is no specific answer.
A better question would be what is the ROI% of a good player?
Being a good player does not guarantee that one finds himself at the final table. Variance is a huge factor in MTTs.
Tournaments with a small buy-in usually add up to thousands of players. Even a good player has only a small chance to fight his way to the top in that situation. In a small field the effect of variance is lighter. However, small fields usually mean higher buy-ins and more skilled opponents.

That obviously depends on the field size. If its heads-up SnGs, then a good player should win 51-55% depending how good the opponents are. If its 9-man SnG maybe 1 in 7-8. If its MTTs with 1.000 participants, maybe 1 in 700-800. The last number is essentially impossible to calculate, because with MTTs everybody will be playing in different field sizes. And this is why, most people focus on their ROI instead.

I'm going to give you a one-page article and read it if you're interested.
For example, Phil Hellmuth had so far won 15 MTT bracelets with 164 ITM in MTT and we are going to assume that as a great player he is, without a doubt, he entered the 250 MTT.
If that were the case, he would win 6% of the tournaments he played and cashed out 64% of the tournaments he played.
And we're talking about one of the best players of all time and the one who won the most tournaments in the wsop.
There are very good players who never win a WSOP.
If they win lower-level tournaments that are still important tournaments,
So my friend, this is a very difficult question to answer.
I believe that Pro players should keep their statistics, but I think they should vary a lot in all cases.
Cheers
