Which minor leaguers have controlled the strike zone the best since 2006?

1 Clint Robinson Harrisonburg ’05-06 409

2 Joey Butler New Market ’06 364

3 Eric Campbell Luray ’06 337

Ryan Schimpf Luray ’08 337

5 Blake Tekotte Woodstock ’06 320

6 Tyler Bortnick Front Royal ’06 309

7 Ben Guez Covington ’06 297

8 Sherman Johnson Covington ’10 295

9 Tony Thomas Harrisonburg ’05 286

10 Brian Bocock Luray ’04 272

Ah, the interesting case of Sherman Johnson. Sherman played in the VBL a full five years after Tony Thomas did, but he flew past him on this list during the last minor league season. Give Sherman a couple more years in the Angels’ system, and he may lead this list.

Anyway, Robinson, Butler, Campbell, Tekotte, and Bocock have all played in the majors. Schimpf, Bortnick, Guez, Johnson, and Thomas are all still active, so who knows?

Stolen bases are next!
