From the Vanderbilt athletics website:
Commodores on opening day rosters include:
Walker Buehler (L.A. Dodgers)
Curt Casali (Cincinnati)
Sonny Gray (Cincinnati)
Tony Kemp (Oakland)
Mike Minor (Texas)
Bryan Reynolds (Pittsburgh)
Dansby Swanson (Atlanta)
Kyle Wright (Atlanta)
Mike Yastrzemski (San Francisco)
