Gators lead the way on Opening Day rosters

Major League Baseball is back and no college team has more players on opening day rosters than the 19 players the Florida Gators have.

The 2020 rosters are a little different than in past years, with clubs allowed to keep 60-man rosters during the shortened season. With a maximum of 1,800 roster spots, 806 of those players went to college.

After a three-month delay Major League Baseball returned on July 23 with the reigning World Series Champion Washington Nationals against the New York Yankees, followed up by the Los Angeles Dodgers against the San Francisco Giants. Shaun Anderson is on the Giants’ roster but didn’t get on the mound during an 8-1 opening day loss to the Dodgers.
