Cal State Fullerton Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"Confidence is the difference. The first time I was up here, I didn't know many faces. I didn't go to spring training with the major league club, so I didn't know these guys and I really wanted to do well the first time up to show them I could. I put a lot of pressure on myself then." - Kirk Saarloos in the Amarillo Globe-News (July 26, 2002)
