This is a fascinating list. Take a gander at the top career batting averages in the minor leagues since the 2006 draft…
1 | Tommy La Stella | Haymarket ’09 | 0.319 |
2 | Clint Robinson | Harrisonburg ’05-06 | 0.302 |
3 | Tyler White | Haymarket ’10 | 0.301 |
4 | Jon Jay | Staunton ’04 | 0.300 |
5 | Dan Murphy | Luray ’05 | 0.299 |
6 | John Raynor | New Market ’04 | 0.297 |
7 | Tyler Kuhn | Luray ’06-07 | 0.295 |
8 | Yonder Alonso | Luray ’06 | 0.294 |
Cory Spangenberg | Winchester ’10 | 0.294 | |
10 | Ryan McBroom | Haymarket ’11-12 | 0.291 |
THIS is a high-powered list. The only players who have not played in the major leagues are Tyler Kuhn and Ryan McBroom. Kuhl made it to Triple-A, and McBroom is still ascending through the Blue Jays system.
If you hit, you play. I think that’s what we can take from this list.
John – another outstandingly interesting data set. Thanks!
