Omaha MLB Alumni

In 58 seasons of Triple-A baseball in Omaha, 348 players have gone on to play in Major League Baseball after stopping through Omaha on their Minor League journey to the Majors, including 293 (84.2%) with Omaha's parent club, the Kansas City Royals. Each of these players is listed below, in reverse order of MLB debut. Through 2025, 1,467 players have appeared in at least one game for Omaha since 1969, meaning 23.65% of all Omaha Royals/Golden Spikes/Storm Chasers players have gone on to debut in the Major Leagues after playing in Omaha.

Only players who did not have previous Major League experience prior to playing their first game for Omaha are included below, with the most recent MLB debuts listed first. If a player had made their Major League debut BEFORE their first game in Omaha (such as a Major League rehab assignment), they are not included below.
