The next category of our 2004-2017 league record book is walks. Let’s get right to it…
| 1 | Jason Kipnis | Covington | 2007 | 49 |
| 2 | Pat Irvine | Waynesboro | 2007 | 48 |
| 3 | Mike Schwartz | Harrisonburg | 2009 | 43 |
| Jay Gonzalez | Harrisonburg | 2011 | 43 | |
| Mike Marcinko | Waynesboro | 2014 | 43 | |
| 6 | Sanchez Gartman | New Market | 2009 | 42 |
| Ryan Sullivan | Covington | 2012 | 42 | |
| 8 | Chris Aninos | Waynesboro | 2007 | 41 |
| Nathan Minnich | Winchester | 2011 | 41 | |
| Jordan Tarsovich | Strasburg | 2013 | 41 |
It’s really hard to believe that Jason Kipnis walked 49 times in one Valley League season. Although, on second thought, Strasburg’s Turner Buis led the 2017 season with 37, and that’s not all that far away.
