Mount Olive College Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"Capps says that apart from a greater talent level, there aren't too many differences between pitching in the minors and pitching in the majors. He added that his new teammates have already been a big help to him. 'It's pretty much the same except it's a little more intense and the batters have quicker hands and they battle you more,' said Capps. 'Everybody’s been really nice and trying to help me out, so I appreciate that.'" - Mount Olive Athletics News (08/05/2012, 'Carter Capps Talks About His Major League Debut', Source)
