Ah, RBIs. The oft-misunderstood standard of production. So while we can sit back and let the BBWAA argue over how to vote for the MVP in each league, and how much RBIs should (or should not) count in that vote, let’s take a look at the highest totals since the 2004 Valley League season:
| 1 | Jimmy Yezzo | Winchester | 2012 | 62 |
| 2 | Jeremy Terni | Winchester | 2004 | 54 |
| Kurt Davidson | Waynesboro | 2007 | 54 | |
| 4 | Gunnar McNeill | Staunton | 2014 | 52 |
| 5 | Zack Sterry | Waynesboro | 2016 | 49 |
| 6 | Jon Love | Front Royal | 2004 | 48 |
| Jermaine Berry | Staunton | 2012 | 48 | |
| 8 | Blake McDade | Staunton | 2009 | 47 |
| 9 | Joseph Odom | Winchester | 2012 | 46 |
| 10 | Michael McClellan | Waynesboro | 2014 | 45 |
There’s Zack Sterry again! He fit right in the middle of this list with his 2016 production.
Jimmy Yezzo is the sole former minor leaguer on the list, and Joseph Odom is the only current minor leaguer.
Does anyone remember the tear that Kurt Davidson was on back in ’07? It seemed like he drove in every single baserunner all summer long.
John,
I was very fortunate to have Great Teammates who got on base in front of me. Like all of these guys on this list couldn’t be done without people getting on base. All of these guys had great seasons. Thanks for all you do for the Valley League. I know I will never forget that summer capped off by winning the championship
