The Milwaukee Brewers are second with 12, followed by the Philadelphia Phillies with 11, the St. Louis Cardinals with 10, the Detroit Tigers with nine, the Tampa Bay Rays with seven, and the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers with six each.

Missouri State is next with three: Ryan Howard of Philadelphia, Shaun Marcum of Milwaukee and Brad Ziegler of Arizona.
