I have coached several players who went to D-II schools who then played professionally. In fact, one of them broke the NCAA record for hits in a career with 356 hits in his career. Although that record has now been broken, it is substantial. Ironically, he didn't play in milb but did play independent league ball. One of these players was drafted as a CF. His arm was outstanding and they made him into a pitcher. He was in the Baltimore organization and was in the trade between Baltimore and Chicago for Sammy Sosa.

Keep in mind that there are several reasons why players have played D-II including easier acceptance into schools and financial reasons. It isn't as easy as simply comparing D-I and D-II and, as I have mentioned before, there are D-II teams/programs that are better than some D-I teams/programs.
