Eastern Michigan University Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a comprehensive chart of every Eastern Michigan University alumnus who played baseball at Eastern Michigan University AND made it to the Major League level.

"The biggest thing I can pass onto the players (as a coach at Bowling Green) is the knowledge I gained having played at the major league level. It'll be a lot of fun to pass that knowledge onto other players to help them improve. I've also played with a number of big-name players and even though I didn't follow their style or what they were doing, I can still pass on how they did things." - Chris Hoiles (August 14, 2001)
