Here are the top ten batting averages put up by Valley League alumni since the 2006 draft….
1 Collin Cowgill Covington ’05 2011- 0.354
2 James McOwen Luray ’05-06 2009- 0.340
3 Clint Robinson Harrisonburg ’05-06 2010- 0.335
4 John Raynor New Market ’04 2007- 0.333
Tyler Kuhn Luray ’06-07 2011- 0.333
6 Clint Robinson Harrisonburg ’05-06 2011- 0.326
7 Tyler White Haymarket ’10 2015- 0.325
8 Jeff Kindel Covington ’03 2007- 0.317
9 Tyson Auer Luray ’05-06 2010- 0.316
10 Ryan McBroom Haymarket ’11-’12 2015- 0.315
Some heavy hitters on this list! Cowgill, Robinson, and Raynor are all major leaguers. White and McBroom, both Haymarket grads, joined the list after stellar 2015 seasons. White will probably make his major league debut in 2016. McBroom? Who knows?
