Maryville College Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"(Tom) Saffell spent most of his career in the American Association and Pacific Coast League, but was an extra outfielder and pinch hitter in four seasons with Pittsburgh. While managing Reno (California League) in 1964, he was suspended for 30 days and fined $250 when he refused to field his team as a protest against poor umpiring." - Norman L.

Maryville College's baseball program started in 1876 and Orlie Weaver was their first player to make it to the Major League level. Names that appear on the chart above in bold print are in the Maryville College Hall of Fame.

Did you know that there are five (5) former Maryville College players who made it to "the show"? Send corrections or updates to Baseball Almanac.

The Fighting Scots might train indoors at the Cooper Athletic Center, but they have been playing baseball at "Scotland Yard" since 1876!
