Which former Valley Leaguers have the most doubles in the major leagues? Read on…..

2006-2018
1 Dan Murphy Luray ’05 333
2 Jason Kipnis Covington ’06-7 229
3 Jon Jay Staunton ’04 176

8 Collin Cowgill Covington ’05 22
9 Clint Robinson Harrisonburg ’05-6 19
Ryan Schimpf Luray ’08 19
11 Eric Campbell Luray ’06 18

Additions: None (And honestly, there aren’t too many up-and-coming hitters in the minor leagues, either. Maybe Rudy Flores, current free agent, will get a few at-bats?)

Changes: The only change is that Tyler White hit 12 doubles and passed Collin Cowgill.
