Yeah, most of us know that pitcher’s wins is not a great way to identify the best pitchers, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t still keep track. So here, brilliant reader, is the list of the most wins in a Valley League season since 2004:

1 Dustin Umberger Luray 2007 9
2 Clarence Nicely Covington 2005 7
Robert Gilliam Luray 2007 7
Jon Dages Waynesboro 2007 7
Andy Altemus Waynesboro 2008 7
Taylor Sandefur Waynesboro 2010 7
Matt Benedict Haymarket 2010 7
Greg Welsh Winchester 2011 7
Jonathan Armold Front Royal 2011 7
Dillon Ortman Harrisonburg 2012 7

I don’t know HOW Dustin Umberger won 9 games in one season, but he did.

The former minor leaguers are Umberger, Robert Gilliam, Andy Altemus, Matt Benedict, Jonathan Armold, and Dillon Ortman. None are currently in pro ball.

By the way, the win leaders of 2016 are Vince Braman (Waynesboro), Benjamin Dum (Strasburg), and Corey Childress (Harrisonburg), who all had 6.
