Stanford University Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"Never strike out the first guy. That's always a bad sign. Last time, the first batter hit a missile right at me, and I barely knocked it down, and I pitched a one-hitter. This time, I struck the guy out and I didn't pitch very well." - Mike Mussina
