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

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

"My junior year, a scout told me my numbers were like every other outfielder in the nation. I wasn't a base-stealer. I wasn't a home-run hitter. He said I didn't project beyond A-ball, and I should pitch, and I took it to heart." - Les Walrond (on how he became a pitcher) in (AP) "Walrond catches on with Royals" (June 15, 2003)
