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

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

"The (Cincinnati) Reds were ecstatic at how well (Danny) Graves adapted to his first opportunity to start in the majors. They feel that with an offseason of conditioning and a full spring to prepare, he has the stuff to be a quality starter. As a closer, Graves came at every hitter with his mid-90s sinker. It's a pitch that should suit him well as a starter, too." - Stats, Inc. (2003)
