Stats of MLB players who went here
The University of St. Thomas was previously known as College of St. Thomas until 1990. In early 2019, the school was "involuntarily removed" from the MIAC, ostensibly due to winning too much [1]. The school was invited to join the Summit League, but had to wait on a ruling to waive the transition period from Division III to Divsion I, which normally takes 12 years.
