Special for The JB Replay

With the Major League Baseball season opening tonight, as the San Francisco Giants host the New York Yankees, The JB Replay unveils its annual list of Texans in the big leagues.

This is a list of native Texans or athletes who played high school or college baseball in the state.

Notably, the names of former New Braunfels High School players Jordan Westburg, Bryce Miller and James McArthur do not appear here because they’re scheduled to open the 2026 season on the injured list.

We’ll add these names when they’re activated. We’ll also add any others that we have overlooked when that information comes to our attention.
