    Little League® Graduates Take the Field for 2019 MLB Postseason

    Little League® Graduates Take the Field for 2019 MLB Postseason

    After another exciting major league season, more than 70 former Little Leaguers will be taking the field this October to compete in the 2019 MLB Playoffs.

    From Hall of Famers to Home Run Derby champions, hundreds of Little League grads have had great success in the Major Leagues and more than 50 of them even had the chance to play in the Little League Baseball World Series growing up. This year’s postseason features five current major leaguers who also got the chance to be a part of the Little League Baseball World Series growing up as well as three who played in the Senior League Baseball World Series.

    With the MLB Postseason now upon us, it’s time to look at the confirmed Little League graduates who are on each team’s 40-man roster (including those on the injured list) heading into the playoffs this October.
