University of Texas at Austin

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

"I am intense, no question about it. Every time I toe the rubber, it's no different for me than it was in the World Series. That might be somebody's only chance to see me pitch. They might have driven four hours to get there. I'm going to be out there if I can help it." - Roger Clemens in Sport Magazine(May 2000)
