California leads the way when it comes to producing players still participating in the MLB postseason with 28 among the final eight teams remaining.
Led by Aaron Judge and Freddie Freeman, California is the only state to have at least one player on every team.
Florida checks in at second with 21 including home run hitters Pete Alonso and Manny Machado. Alonso is one of six New York Mets that hail from the Sunshine State.
Texas is third with 15 and is led by Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals, one of the most exciting young players in baseball.
Georgia is the fourth and final state to have at least 10 players in the postseason with flamethrower Dylan Cease of the San Diego Padres highlighting the list.
Oklahoma is represented by two players who each led their respective squads at quarterback to high school football state titles.
Jackson Jobe of the Detroit Tigers led
Heritage Hall (Oklahoma City) to a state title as a sophomore in 2018. In the National League, J.T. Realmuto of the Philadelphia Phillies won a state crown as a senior at
Carl Albert (Midwest City) in 2009 and put up 1,937 yards through the air with 1,412 more on the ground, tallying 45 total touchdowns in the process.
Four high schools currently have two players remaining in the postseason —
Etiwanda (Calif.),
Eustis (Fla.),
Shaker (Latham, N.Y.) and
Blue Valley (Stilwell, Kan.).
