With the 2020 MLB Season looking to be finally about to start we here at the JBB decided to take a look to see how many Former Junior College Players made it onto their given teams 60 man player pool to start the 2020 season.
There are 107 different individuals that went to a Junior College that are on MLB 60 man Player pools to start the season.
Every single team to start the season has at least 1 former Juco Bandit on their 60 man player pool roster. The most comes from both the Atlanta Braves and the Chicago Cubs with 8, with the New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals, and the Los Angeles Dodgers all tied at the bottom with just 1 representative from the Junior College Route.
When you look at it as to which junior colleges are represented there was a total of 70 Different Junior Colleges from the NWAC, to the CCCAA, the NJCAA and even some that are no longer junior colleges.
