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

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

"Eli Whiteside hit a huge shot to right field which could have been a double or triple but was caught at the fence, and said 'That's baseball; tomorrow's another day.' In other words, they apparently believe general manager Mike Flanagan who said, 'Nobody won a job today, nobody lost a job.'" - Blog Writer Andy Barth on Andy Barth in Fort Lauderdale
