College baseball’s reach didn’t stop when the regular season ended—it followed players straight into October.
After 293 schools produced at least one big leaguer during the 2025 regular season, 118 of them were represented again in the Wild Card and Division Series rounds, underscoring just how essential the college pipeline has become to the game’s biggest moments.
Recent college draftees like Trey Yesavage (East Carolina) and Cam Schlittler (Northeastern) were among the postseason’s early standouts, further proof of how quickly top college prospects are impacting the majors.
Boston College, East Carolina, Florida State, LSU, Miami and Virginia led all schools with three former players apiece on postseason rosters.
Below is the complete list of all 118 colleges with at least one former player on a postseason roster. Note that players who participated in the regular season for a team that reached the playoffs but were not included on their club’s 26-man postseason roster were ineligible for this study.
