| All-Time Dartmouth Draft Picks |
Few colleges and universities in the country can boast of a world-renowned academic environment as well as representation in Major League Baseball, but Dartmouth has both. A total of 21 alumni since 2000 have played for major league organizations, including major leaguers Ed Lucas ’04 (Florida Marlins), Kyle Hendricks ’12 (Chicago Cubs), Cole Sulser ’12 (Tampa Bay Rays) and Beau Sulser ’16 (Pittsburg Pirates). Hendricks led all of MLB in ERA in 2016 while helping the Cubs win the World Series for the first time in 108 yeras. Brad Ausmus '91, Mark Johnson '90 and Mike Remlinger '88 have all made it to "The Show" and played significant roles for their teams, combining for a total of 39 years in the big leagues.
Remlinger enjoyed a 14-year career at the major league level, playing five seasons for the Atlanta Braves, four of which came during their stretch of 14 consecutive National League East Division titles. He also helped lead the Cubs to the 2003 NLCS and recorded his first postseason save in Game 3 against the Florida Marlins. A 2002 All-Star with a 7-3 record in 73 appearances and 1.99 ERA as the Braves' primary setup man. Remlinger was a first round selection (16th pick overall) of the San Francisco Giants in 1987. He also played for the Giants, New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds and Boston Red Sox, compiling a 3.90 ERA and 53-55 record over 879 innings with 20 saves and 854 strikeouts.

Ausmus never donned a Green and White uniform because he was the property of the New York Yankees while attending classes at Dartmouth, graduating in 1991. He went on to an 18-year career in the major leagues, with 10 of the seasons coming with the Houston Astros and an All-Star season in 1999 with the Detroit Tigers. Three times he won a gold glove behind the plate and helped the Astros reach their first World Series in 2005. One of the game's best defensive catchers, he posted a .994 fielding percentage, retiring after the 2010 campaign as a career .251 hitter with 80 homers and 102 stolen bases. Since 2014, Ausmus has served as the manager for the Tigers, posting a 250-234 record (.517) with a Central Division title to his credit in his first season at the helm.
Johnson, who cracked the Pittsburgh Pirates' starting lineup in 1995, became a regular for Jim Leyland at first base in 1996. The former standout Big Green quarterback hit .274 with 13 HR and 47 RBIs for the Bucs. His first major league hit was a memorable one, as he crushed a home run against Philadelphia. The Pirates' Minor League Player of the Year in 1994 played 10 games with the Anaheim Angels in 1998 and was a member of the National League champion New York Mets during the 2000 campaign. He spent seven seasons in the bigs, batting .232 with 38 homers in over 1,000 plate appearances.
Lucas spent 10 seasons in the minor leagues before making his big league debut with the Miami Marlins on May 30, 2013. It was worth the wait (10-Year Wait Finally Over) as the utility player provided eight hits in his first 16 at-bats with the big club, including a 4-for-4 performance in just his third game, the earliest in a career a Marlins rookie has amassed four hits in a game. Lucas played two seasons with the Marlins, hitting .255 with five homers and 37 RBIs in 163 games. In his minor league career, he logged 925 games and had over 3,700 plate appearances, putting up a .278 career average with 159 doubles, 66 homers and 418 RBIs.
Hendricks got his first taste of life in the big leagues in the summer of 2014 when the Cubs promoted him and stuck him in the starting rotation right away. He dazzled in his debut season, going 7-2 with a 2.46 ERA over 80.1 innings to earn several votes in the National League Rookie of the Year balloting. The following year he made 32 starts during the regular season, posting an 8-7 record and a 3.95 ERA, striking out 167 batters in 180.0 innings of work. He also became the fourth Ivy League pitcher to start a game on the mound in the postseason — joining fellow Big Green alum Jim Beattie '77 with that distinction — helping the Cubs reach that NLCS. In 2016, he led all of MLB with a 2.13 ERA while posting a 16-8 record, helping Chicago win its first World Series in 108 years and finishing third in the NL Cy Young balloting.
And after two Tommy John surgeries and six seasons playing in the minor leagues, Sulser got the call on Sept. 2, 2019, to join the Rays bullpen, then served as the Baltimore Orioles closer for part of the shortened 2020 season and again in 2021 before being traded to the Miami Marlins shortly before the 2022 campaign. Sulser’s younger brother, Beau, made his debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 26, 2022, and made four appearances for them before a mid-season trade to the Orioles.
Dartmouth's influence in the Major Leagues extends beyond the parameters of the diamond, as well. In fact, one of the most popular figures in baseball history, former National League President Chub Feeney, is a 1943 graduate.
Robert DuPuy '68 served eight years as Major League Baseball president and chief operating officer until resigning his post at the end of the 2010 season. DuPuy served as legal council for MLB for years prior to his appointment as president and COO.
The late Jimmie Lee Solomon '78, who played football for the Big Green, was the executive vice president of baseball operations and was on the MLB staff for 21 years before leaving during the 2012 season. Black Enterprise magazine called him, "one of the most influential African-Americans in the business of sports."
Sandy Alderson '69, the mastermind behind the powerful Oakland Athletics in the early 1990s, retired from his post as the general manager for the New York Mets, and worked with David Howard '82 who was the senior vice president for business operations for the New York Mets. After returning to the Oakland front office in 2019-20, the Mets brought him back as team president in 2021.
Jim Beattie, a 1976 graduate who went on to pitch for the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners, spent nine seasons as the GM of the Montreal Expos before moving on to the Baltimore Orioles in a similar capacity, and retired from baseball after serving as a scout for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Dartmouth had another general manager in Matt Klentak '02, hired by the Philadelphia Phillies prior to the 2016 season. He arrived in the City of Brotherly Love after serving as the assistant GM for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He was reassigned in the organization after the 2020 as the strategy & developement officer on the club’s executive management team.
Kevan Graves '03, serves as the assistant general manager for the Pittsburgh Pirates while a classmate of his, Bryn Alderson '03, is the director of pro scouting for the New York Mets. Two more recent graduates, Jack Monahan ’09 and Joe Sclafani ’12, work in the Kansas City and Toronto organizations, respectively, the former as the coordinator of scouting operations, the latter as the assistant director of player development.
