18 Former Division I Players on World Series Rosters 

There are 18 former Division I players among the 50 major leaguers listed on the World Series rosters, the same total as a year ago.

The St. Louis Cardinals have 11 former Division I players on their 25-man World Series roster, including Lance Lynn from Ole Miss (right). The Texas Rangers have seven.

There are 17 Division I schools which have at least one alum in the postseason. There is only one school with two players, UC Santa Barbara.

Arkansas is the only school to have had alums in each of the past three World Series. Former Razorback Craig Gentry is an outfielder with the Rangers, while Cliff Lee pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2009 and for Texas in 2010.

There are five players from the SEC, four from the Big West, two from the Big 12 and one each from the ACC, Conference USA, Metro Atlantic, Pac-12, Southland, Sun Belt and West Coast.
