Time to begin the countdown of top minor league statistics in an individual season!
We’ll start with runs scored. The row is name, Valley League team, year in VBL, year the runs were scored: total runs.
1 John Raynor New Market ’04 2007: 110
2 Sherman Johnson Covington ’09-10 2014: 107
3 John Raynor New Market ’04 2008: 104
4 Jason Kipnis Covington ’06-07 2010: 96
Tyler Bortnick Front Royal ’06 2011: 96
6 Tyson Auer Luray ’05-06 2010: 95
Collin Cowgill Covington ’05 2011: 95
8 Mac Williamson Harrisonburg ’11 2013: 94
9 Mike Mitchell Staunton ’06 2008: 93
Joey Butler New Market ’06 2012: 93
No 2015 entries, but Sherman Johnson’s 2014 is #2 on the list. Mac Williamson joined the list in 2013 down at #8.
Raynor (who scored 100 runs TWICE!), Kipnis, Cowgill, Williamson, and Butler have all played in the major leagues. Johnson and Bortnick are still active in the minors, while Auer and Mitchell are out of pro ball.
