The Ohio State University in the major leagues

The Ohio State University (Columbus, OH) has 44 alumni in the major league record. Debuts run from 1896 (Effie Norton) to 2012 (Josh Edgin). The games column peaks with Frank Howard at 1895. Among alumni with long careers at the plate, Frank Howard has the best average, .273. Rows with no batting line, such as Ollie Welf, Arch Reilly, and Bill Wertz, are players who did not bat in the majors, most of them pitchers. More of the school's major leaguers debuted in the 1920s than in any other decade. Other schools in the same state with major league alumni include University of Akron, University of Cincinnati, and University of Dayton. The school list is built from Lahman's record of where players played college baseball; a player who attended without playing may not appear.
