University of Arkansas Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"I haven't pitched that bad in the big leagues and it's just a matter of getting the right opportunity with the right team. With Oakland, they gave me that opportunity and I pitched well for them but they had some young guys coming up and you can't fault them for wanting to do something with them." - Mike Oquist in Edmonton Sun (June 5, 2001)

University of Arkansas M.L.B. Player Alumnus

The University of Arkansas baseball program started in 1897 and Chuck Tompkins was their first player to make it to the Major League level.

Did you know that there are forty-two former University of Arkansas players who made it to the show? Send corrections to Baseball Almanac.

The Razorback baseball program has been consistently challenging other teams since 1947, but prior to that date the team came and went (active in 1897, 1901-1903, 1905, 1908-1916, 1919-1929) for many reasons.
