Next up in our series of the best stats in the Valley League since 2004, we have total bases. Stat packages used to keep track of this stat, but I’ve had to “manually” calculate totals the last couple of seasons. (By “manual,” I mean enter numbers into a formula, so it’s not like I’m figuring it out in my head or anything.)

Let’s take a look:

1 Jimmy Yezzo Winchester 2012 148
2 Joseph Odom Winchester 2012 139
3 Jon Love Front Royal 2004 125
Tyler Kuhn Luray 2006 125
5 Zach Sterry Waynesboro 2016 123
6 Michael Wielansky Charlottesville 2017 122
7 Steve McQuail Front Royal 2009 119
Bradley Picha Winchester 2012 119
9 Jonathan Griffin Luray 2010 117
10 Collin Cowgill Covington 2005 116
11 Leo Rojas Winchester 2012 115

Man, Jimmy Yezzo just crushes these lists, eh? He’s first here, and on the lists for slugging percentage, hits, runs, doubles, home runs, RBIs…. wow. No one had at least 115 bases in 2018; Andrew Eyster ended the season with 109.

The breakdown:

Major leaguers: Collin Cowgill
Former minor leaguers: Jimmy Yezzo, Tyler Kuhn, Steve McQuail, Jonathan Griffin
Current Minor Leaguers: Joseph Odom, Zach Sterry, Michael Wielansky
No pro ball: Jon Love, Bradley Picha, Leo Rojas

By Team:

  • Winchester- 4
  • Front Royal, Luray- 2
  • Waynesboro, Charlottesville, Covington- 1
