Players who went here

Brown University has sent 38 players to the major leagues, including Fred Tenney (both of the players by that name), Lee Richmond, Bump Hadley, and Tommy Dowd. However, the pipeline dried up after World War II, with only one player coming from Brown. That player was Bill Almon, a #1 draft pick who played 15 years in the majors.

On March 17, 2023, Brown University became the first member of NCAA Division I to have a woman appear on its baseball team. Olivia Pichardo became the ground-breaker as a pinch-hitter in a game against Bryant University. Many women had appeared in college baseball games before her, dating back to 1987, but never at the top level of collegiate baseball.

Brown has an encyclopedia of its history called the "Encyclopedia Brunoniana". It has a page on the history of baseball at Brown: Encyclopedia Brunoniana, Baseball.
