University of Cincinnati Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"I am so thankful for the four great years I had as a baseball player and a student at the University of Cincinnati. UC has always been close to my heart and the pride I have for the Bearcats is endless. I wanted to help give back to UC by donating a scholarship to the baseball program. Without my experiences at the University of Cincinnati, I would not be where I am at today. Hopefully, this scholarship will allow another UC baseball player to excel in life, not just baseball." - Kevin Youkilis on GoBEARCATS.com (02/11/2011, 'Kevin Youkilis Makes Leadership Gift To UC Baseball', Source)
