How these numbers work

Built from public college baseball rosters, 2016–2026. "Players" means distinct people; "player–program records" count a player once at each college where he appears. A hometown is the one listed on a roster — it doesn't tell us where a player was recruited or whether he came straight from high school. Divisions and conferences are each program's current ones. Counts include only players we could match; shares are of recorded players. "Non-Power" D1 means outside the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC. Data last updated October 31, 2026.

These public pages show aggregate results, not individual player names. Towns, high schools and college-to-college paths are shown only with at least 5 players.
