Which junior colleges have produced the most MLB players?

Hey everyone, I'm a baseball player with an interest in playing at a junior college level with the hopes of eventually making it to the MLB. Which junior colleges have the most ex-students now in the MLB?

a year ago

There's quite a handful of junior colleges that have been developmental hotbeds for MLB talent. It's important to understand, though, that attending these schools won't guarantee a trajectory to the MLB, but they have certainly earned their reputation through consistently strong baseball programs and a history of successful alumni.

Sacramento City College in California is one. These panthers have a rich history of producing MLB talent. Famous alumni here include Baseball Hall of Famer, Eddie Joost, as well as Dusty Baker, former MLB player and manager.

Chipola College in Florida is another great example. The likes of MLB All-Stars such as José Bautista and Russell Martin have come through this program.

San Jacinto College in Texas has a rich history of MLB player production. Legendary MLB players Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens are alumni of this institution.

Lastly, Central Arizona College has produced several MLB players, including Ian Kinsler.

It's worth noting that junior college (or JuCo) is often a stepping stone to NCAA D1 baseball, which can provide increased visibility to MLB scouts. Be sure to consider all of your options and make the decision that bests suits your personal and athletic goals. And of course, always work hard on and off the field!
