Tulane University Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"The biggest improvement (Andy) Sheets made was at the plate, where he turned into a more aggressive hitter who showed some power. He said the change was more in his approach than anything technical, and it clearly worked, though he still can be overpowered by a good fastball. Sheets is a steady defender who can make all the routine plays, but he rarely does anything spectacular. He is versatile enough to play all four infield positions but is best suited to be in the middle." - Stats, Inc. (2004)
