Wichita State University Baseball Players Who Made it to the Major Leagues

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

"I'm definitely honored. It doesn't feel like it's been five years since I retired. It feels like only a couple of years. But to see your name on the (Hall of Fame) ballot with Eck (Dennis Eckersley), Mollie (Paul Molitor) and (Ryne) Sandberg, that definitely feels good." - Joe Carter in Carter on HOF ballot for first time (MLB.com 12/25/2003)
