The Middle Tennessee State University baseball program started in 1957 and Bob Tillman was their first player to make it to the Major League level.

Did you know that there are nine former Middle Tennessee players who made it to the show? Send corrections or updates to Baseball Almanac.

Charlie Gooch, who made his debut before all the players listed above, also attended Middle Tennessee when it was the State Teachers College, but he did not play baseball for the Blue Raiders.
