Villanova University in the major leagues

34 players on this page went from Villanova University to the majors. Debuts run from 1871 (Denny Mack) to 2009 (Kevin Mulvey). By games played, the longest career belongs to Mickey Vernon, with 2409. Among alumni with long careers at the plate, Eddie Murphy has the best average, .287. Rows with no batting line, such as Jim Schelle, Mike Porzio, and Brian Slocum, are players who did not bat in the majors, most of them pitchers. More of the school's major leaguers debuted in the 1910s than in any other decade. Other schools in the same state with major league alumni include Volant College, Washington and Jefferson College, and Waynesburg 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.
