There are currently 24 NC State alums playing baseball professionally. Read below to see how NC State's baseball alumni is faring in the pros.

NC State currently has three players on Major League rosters (alphabetical order).

Andrew Knizner: St. Louis Cardinals: .196 average, HR, 12 RBI

Carlos Rodón: San Francisco Giants: 6-4, 2.84 ERA, 73 IP, 91 K, 13 games (13 starts)

Trea Turner: Los Angeles Dodgers: .301 average, 9 HR, 49 RBI, 14 SB

Rodón was sensational in his last outing. The lefty hurled eight innings June 17th in Pittsburgh and allowed only two hits and two walks while fanning eight to pick up his sixth win of the season. San Francisco trails the Los Angeles Dodgers and former college teammate Turner by three games in the National League West. Meanwhile, Knizner's Cardinals are tied with Milwaukee atop the National League Central standings. 

NC State currently has 21 players on Minor League rosters.
