38 Former Division I Players on LCS Rosters 

There are 38 former Division I players among the 100 major leaguers listed on League Championship Series rosters, including former TCU infielder Matt Carpenter (right) of the St. Louis Cardinals. That is an increase from last season's total of 34. There were 40 in 2012, 38 in 2011 and 30 in 2010.

The Baltimore Orioles lead the way with 11 former Division I players on their 25-man LCS roster. The San Francisco Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals both have 10, followed by the Kansas City Royals with seven.

There are 35 Division I schools which have at least one alum in the postseason. Three schools have two: Florida State (Randy Choate of St. Louis and Buster Posey of San Francisco), Long Beach State (Matt Duffy of San Francisco and Jason Vargas of Kansas City) and TCU (Matt Carpenter of St. Louis and Brandon Finnegan of Kansas City).

There are links to lists divided by school and by Major League teams.
