Notes:
Darnell Uhland's career started parallel to Seth Yoder's, but diverged soon after. Both came to the league known as real-world hardballers who were better pitchers than hitters. Darnell though, unlike Seth, slowly improved his batting while Seth improved his pitching. By the end of the league, Darnell was taking pitchers deep despite a 4.76 ERA and Seth was being struck out by Bill Rozak while winning the Cy Young.

Arguably, Darnell's finest season may have been his most depressing. His 2002 Road Warriors squad was a mess until Dave Cain showed up, but Darnell's numbers defy logic. For most of the season it was just him and Jeff Register, the worst hitter, pitcher, AND fielder in the league. So the Road Warriors lost a LOT. Still, Darnell led the league in ABs, he drove in and scored over 30 runs essentially on his own, he actually went 5-2 from the mound, and his ERA was 2.14 (much thanks to his striking batters out more than 1.5x per 4 IP than in 2001 because his fielder was terrible).
