Morehead State Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"I just like to pitch, I don't care where it is. Regardless of what the job is, it's still getting outs. Whether you're closing, whether you're a starter, whether you're a mop-up guy, you've got to get outs. So why not approach it the same way?" - Jon Rauch in The Canadian Press (Larry Millson, 03/20/2002, 'Blue Jays' Jon Rauch could be closing when Toronto's season opens', Source)
