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

"I got a decent pitch to hit (during his first Major League at-bat) and was a little out in front of it. It really wasn't what we needed (he ground into a double play) right there, but it was one at-bat." - Lance Berkman
