No one approaching Barry Bonds or anything, but here are the best major league seasons for home runs since the 2006 draft…
| 1 | Dan Murphy | Luray ’05 | 2016 | 25 |
| 2 | Jason Kipnis | Covington ’06-7 | 2016 | 23 |
| 3 | Ryan Schimpf | Luray ’08 | 2016 | 20 |
| 4 | Jason Kipnis | Covington ’06-7 | 2013 | 17 |
| 5 | Jason Kipnis | Covington ’06-7 | 2012 | 14 |
| Dan Murphy | Luray ’05 | 2015 | 14 | |
| 7 | Dan Murphy | Luray ’05 | 2013 | 13 |
| 8 | Dan Murphy | Luray ’05 | 2009 | 12 |
| 9 | Jon Jay | Staunton ’04 | 2011 | 10 |
| Clint Robinson | Harrisonburg ’05-6 | 2015 | 10 |
2016 was clearly a good year for home runs, as the top three slots were all achieved in the past year. Overall, Murphy holds 4 spots, Kipnis 3, and Schimpf, Jay, and Robinson all have 1.
Brett Gardner Sighting: Brett hit 17 home runs in 2014, and 16 in 2015. Those seasons would be good for 5th and 6th places, and would push Jay and Robinson out!
