Time to get back to posting!

Today we’ll start off slowly, with the list of top home run seasons in the minor leagues. Here’s the list:

1 Clint Robinson Harrisonburg ’05-06 2010 29
2 Jonathan Griffin Luray ’10 2012 28
Rudy Flores Haymarket ’10 2014 28
4 Michael Snyder Haymarket ’11 2013 25
Mac Williamson Harrisonburg ’11 2013 25
6 Ryan Schmipf Luray ’08 2014 24
7 Clint Robinson Harrisonburg ’05-07 2011 23
Ryan Schmipf Luray ’08 2013 23
9 Ryan Schmipf Luray ’08 2012 22
10 Quinn Stewart Staunton ’04 2007 21
AJ Kirby-Jones Waynesboro ’09 2012 21
Mickey Wiswall Winchester ’08 2012 21

I’m tempted to call this the Clint Robinson list, and while it’s true that he’s leading the whole thing, Ryan Schmipf is on it THREE times, and it’s been over the last three years- 2012, 2013, and 2014. That’s rather impressive!

Rudy Flores is the other 2014 season on the list, and he came only one home run short of tying Robinson for the best since the 2006 draft.

Interestingly, the top nine spots are all still active in pro ball, while the last three- Stewart, Kirby-Jones, and Wiswall- are all out of pro ball.

I’m curious to see what Williamson might be able to do with a complete, healthy season….
