SAN JAC PLAYERS IN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL San Jacinto College is as prolific as any two-year college in the nation when it comes to sending players to the professional ranks. In the last five years, 18 San Jacinto College baseball players have been selected in the Major League Baseball (MLB) First-Year Player Draft. Houston area baseball fans are well versed in the success of former players Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens, but the list does not end there. Pitchers Matt Albers (Milwaukee Brewers), Anthony Banda (Tampa Bay Rays), Daniel Stumpf (Detroit Tigers), and San Francisco first baseman Brandon Belt are former Gators now on major league rosters. Albers was originally drafted by the Houston Astros in the 23rd round of the 2001 First Year Player Draft. He has spent time on the roster in Baltimore, Boston, Arizona, Cleveland, Houston, Chicago (White Sox), Washington Nationals, and most recently with the Milwaukee Brewers. Since his debut on July 25, 2006, Albers has gone 36-39 with a 4.13 ERA. He has started 24 games, pitching 665.0 innings. Banda went 2-3 last season with a 5.96 ERA. He saw action in eight games, starting four, and pitched in 25.2 innings. Stumpf made his major league debut on April 7, 2016. In his two years in the major leagues, he is 0-1 with a 4.64 ERA. He’s appeared in 62 games and 42.2 innings pitched. Belt helped the San Francisco Giants win the 2012 and 2014 World Series. He made his major league debut on March 31, 2011, with the Giants, and has been with the organization ever since. In 2017, Belt hit .241 in 382 at-bats and 104 games. He had 18 home runs, 27 doubles, and three triples. 19 San Jacinto College Baseball 2019
