NOTE: This is a compilation of stats involving players from Southern Arizona and the Pima Community College and Arizona Wildcats’ programs in MLB-sanctioned leagues (MLB and minor leagues). The list does not include players in foreign leagues or independent leagues in the US.

Vince Vannelle, a finalist for college baseball’s Stopper of the Year in 2021 when Arizona advanced to the College World Series, earned his first save in three years Sunday, pitching for Single-A+ Winston-Salem of the Chicago White Sox organization. He missed all of last year after undergoing arm surgery and pitched mostly in middle relief in 2023 at Winston-Salem and Double-A Birmingham (Ala.). He started this season on a rehab assignment with Chicago’s rookie-league team in the Phoenix area. He had four saves for Winston-Salem in 2022 after recording eight in 2021 for the Wildcats.
