Joe Koshansky is on the all-time list four times! In 2005, his 2nd pro season, Joe hit 289/366/590 in 132 games and 498 at-bats, split between Asheville (120 games) and Tulsa (12 games). He scored 97 runs, drove in 115, hit 34 doubles, 1 triple, and the 38 home runs. He was Colorado’s Minor League Player of the Year for his efforts. Fun fact: Joe was an important player in the process to bring the Valley League back to Charlottesville, and was the team’s first General Manager.
