Zach Jensen, RHP

Drafted in the 6th round out of Wake Forest in 1903, his potential really shot up after the draft leading to three Pitcher of the Year Awards. He also went to 6 All-Star games and helped the Royals win the 1912 World Series. He was named the 1908 AL Division Series MVP and spent his entire 16 year career with the Royals, staying healthy with the exception of a few weeks worth of injuries. He slots in very solidly behind J.P. Avila as the second best pitcher ever to play the game.

Career Stats: 4201 IP, 1326 BB, 2285 K, 2.45 FIP, 90 FIP-, 76.9 WAR, 78.9 JAWS

Kinnunen was drafted 4th overall in 1904 out of UC Santa Barbara, shot through the minor league, and debuted the same year with the Athletics. 15 years, one Pitcher of the Year Award, and 5 All-Star teams later, he enters the Hall of Fame. He pitched a no-hitter in college and threw 92 shutouts in the major leagues.

Joe Hubbard, RHP

Hubbard burst onto the scene first in college at the University of Illinois, easily winning the NCAA Pitcher of the Year all 3 seasons. He never won that award in the major leagues but did finish 3rd twice and was a 4-time all-star. He also won a gold glove. The Mariners took him 2nd overall and he spent 9 seasons with them before getting traded to the Dodgers and then signing with the Astros and Blue Jays.

Career Stats: 2939.7 IP, 662 BB, 1508 K, 2.30 FIP, 85 FIP-, 60.1 WAR, 54.2 JAWS

Kadin Henderson, LF

Henderson was the 46th overall pick in 1903 to the Phillies and stayed in their organization his entire career. He made three all-star teams, won a gold glove and a silver slugger, and was on the 1909 World Series team.

Career Stats: 7542 PA, 1869 H, 421 SB, .321 wOBA, 112 wRC+, 72.7 ZR, 35.6 WAR, 32.6 JAWS

Elijah Turner, LHP

Turner is right on the cusp of the Hall of Fame by JAWS, but the absence of awards and his total career WAR keep him out. He did have a good peak and kept up solid above average contribution for 13 years. He was drafted in the 4th round of the 1903 draft out of Kansas.

Career Stats: 3036.7 IP, 833 BB, 1223 K, 2.58 FIP, 94 FIP-, 48.9 WAR, 50.6 JAWS

Dean Davidson, LHP

Davidson may have had a chance at a Hall of Fame career but his talent level dropped sharply once he turned 30. He made 3 all-star teams and was the 1916 NL Division Series MVP, and finished in the top 3 Pitcher of the Year voting three times. He was drafted in the 9th round out of Springfield High School in Oregon.

Career Stats: 1883.3 IP, 445 BB, 832 K, 2.56 FIP, 89 FIP-, 35.2 WAR, 40.6 JAWS

Aykan Nagaraja, LHP

Nagaraja was drafted in the 1st round of the 1902 draft out of St Johns and had a long and solid career with the Astros, Orioles, Marlins, Tigers, Cardinals, and Pirates. He won a gold glove and was the 1915 AL Division Series MVP. He also pitched a no-hitter in AAA in 1903.

Career Stats: 2849.7 IP, 972 BB, 1269 K, 2.82 FIP, 104 FIP-, 32.3 WAR, 36.2 JAWS

Jon Wilbur, RHP

Wilbur was drafted 22nd overall by the Astros in 1901 out of Sachem East High School, where he won both the MVP and Pitcher of the Year. He also won the 1910 World Series as a member of the Houston club.

Career Stats: 2930.7 IP, 934 BB, 1424 K, 2.65 FIP, 97 FIP-, 42.3 WAR, 34.5 JAWS

Eric Walton, RHP

Walton completed a pretty good career for someone drafted in the 18th round out of Florida State in 1903. He made 4 all-star games and won a gold glove. He was part of the 1906 Dodgers Championship team in his rookie season. 1909 was his career year with 6.8 WAR, but he wasn't able to keep it all together for the long term.

Career Stats: 1916.3 IP, 505 BB, 858 K, 2.56 FIP, 96 FIP-, 29.0 WAR, 31.9 JAWS

Fabian Ricci, LHP

Ricci was one of the top closers in the game for many years - 7 all-star teams, a reliever of the year, and a World Series Championship all on his resume. The Brewers drafted him in the 3rd round of the 1904 draft out of Holy Cross.

Career Stats: 731.7 IP, 289 BB, 593 K, 280 SV, 1.79 FIP, 66 FIP-, 29.0 WPA, 19.3 JAWS

Vic Dobie, RHP

Dobie was a mainstay in the Yankees bullpen for 11 seasons, filling in as needed when injury struck. He was on the path to greatness early in his career but lost it when he turned 28. He made two all-star teams and won the World Series in 1907. He was drafted in the 4th round of the 1903 draft out of Penn State.

Career Stats: 1723.7 IP, 502 BB, 853 K, 2.44 FIP, 93 FIP-, 28.1 WAR, 27.8 JAWS

Logan Junco, RHP

Junco had a good long career as a reliever, appearing in 500 games and winning a World Series with the White Sox in 1914. He was the #90 prospect in 1900 and pitched in 41 games that year for the Indians.

Career Stats: 651.3 IP, 189 BB, 331 K, 125 SV, 2.30 FIP, 82 FIP-, 16.0 WPA, 14.7 JAWS

Lütfü Wohlfarth, 1B

Wohlfarth was one of the first players to 2,000 career hits, but he never provided a ton of value at 1B. His offense was above average, but his defense was so atrocious it wiped out everything that the offense provided. He won three silver sluggers and helped the Red Sox win the 1905 World Series as the AL Division Series MVP. He currently holds the record for most career RBI - 960.

Career Stats: 9123 PA, 2228 Hits, .329 wOBA, 113 wRC+, -121.4 ZR, 10.6 WAR, 13.3 JAWS

Tommy Irwin, RHP

Irwin was drafted in 1903 by the Angels with the 58th overall pick out of Alabama. He made the 1911 all-star team and even tried to revive his career as a starter in the Atlantic League at the age of 37.

Career Stats: 704 IP, 244 BB, 366 K, 214 SV, 2.47 FIP, 92 FIP-, 11.6 WPA, 9.5 JAWS
