Florida State University Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"This is a crossroads season for (J.D.) Drew and the (St. Louis) Cardinals. Stardom has been predicted for him ever since he was a high-profile draft selection in 1998. However, he has shown only flashes of putting together his exceptional tools." - Stats, Inc. (2003)
