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

"A lot of my ineffectiveness tonight was directly related to the fact I couldn't throw a breaking ball in a quality location. I left a lot of breaking balls up and those pitches get hit. During the course of that inning, if I had made a quality pitch, I probably would have been out of the inning and maybe been able to give my team a couple quality innings. I couldn't throw a breaking ball for a strike. We resorted to throwing fastballs and you can't live on a fastball in this league." - Jay Witasick in the New York Times (Murray Chass, November 4, 2001)
