3 | Tom Browning | New Market ’80-81 | 123 |
4 | Walt Terrell | Staunton | 111 |
5 | Rick Honeycutt | Charlottesville ’73 | 109 |
6 | Roberto Hernandez | Front Royal | 67 |
7 | George Stone | Staunton | 60 |

10 | Mike Maroth | Staunton ’96-97 | 50 |
11 | Ed Lynch | Madison | 47 |
12 | Greg Harris | Front Royal | 45 |
13 | Jon Rauch | Harrisonburg ’98 | 43 |

15 | Lee Guetterman | Waynesboro | 38 |
16 | Chris Nabholz | Front Royal | 37 |
Brad Ziegler | New Market ’00 | 37 | |
18 | Al Holland | Charlottesville | 34 |
19 | Mike Williams | Winchester ’89 | 32 |
20 | Rich Rodriguez | Staunton | 31 |
There is absolutely zero overlap on these two lists, but Yarbrough will knock out Rich Rodriguez ion 2020, probably.
John – Yes, but a useful additional dimension – which guys were primarily starters and which were relievers? Starters have a greater chance to figure in a win decision. For example,Brad Ziegler was in 739 games, but had zero starts in his 11-year MLB career. Chris Devenski has had only 7 starts in 221 game appearances so far.
I agree that context is important- for all of MLB counting stats, really.
