Here is, finally, the last record book entry for minor league hitters since the 2006 draft.

Using 1,000 at-bats as the minimum, check out the list of the top averages in the minor leagues:

1 Tommy La Stella Haymarket ’09 0.322
2 Clint Robinson Harrisonburg ’05-06 0.302
3 Jon Jay Staunton ’04 0.301
4 John Raynor New Market ’04 0.297
5 Yonder Alonso Luray ’06 0.296
Cory Spangenberg Winchester ’10 0.296
7 Tyler Kuhn Luray ’06-07 0.295
Dan Murphy Luray ’05 0.295
9 Collin Cowgill Covington ’05 0.293
Joey Butler New Market ’06 0.293

Know what’s fascinating about this list? Tyler Kuhn is the only player to NOT have played in the major leagues! And Tyler, of course, made it to Triple-A, so it’s not like he was far off.

This list may be closer to a “top prospects from the Valley” compilation than anything I could come up with on my own!
