University of Southern California in the major leagues

The table lists 105 major league players who played college baseball at University of Southern California, in Los Angeles, CA. Debuts run from 1927 (Fay Thomas) to 2013 (Grant Green). The games column peaks with Ron Fairly at 2442. Mark McGwire hit the most home runs, 583. Fred Lynn collected the most hits, 1960. The best career average among regular hitters is .296, by Jeff Cirillo. Rows with no batting line, such as Wally Hood, Wally Wolf, and Eric Raich, are players who did not bat in the majors, most of them pitchers. More of the school's major leaguers debuted in the 2000s than in any other decade. Other schools in the same state with major league alumni include University of the Pacific, Vanguard University of Southern California, and Ventura College. The school list is built from Lahman's record of where players played college baseball; a player who attended without playing may not appear.
