ATLANTA, Ga. -- Mitch Voit of the University of Michigan baseball team was selected as a two-way player by the New York Mets in the first round (38th overall) of the Major League Baseball draft on Sunday night at the Coca-Cola Roxy.
Voit is Michigan's first draft pick since Connor O'Halloran was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the fifth round (157th overall) of the 2023 draft. Voit represents the Wolverines' earliest selection since David Parrish in 2000 when the New York Yankees selected him with the 28th overall pick. Voit becomes the seventh first-round pick in program history.
Voit spent three seasons at Michigan, playing in 169 games with 163 starts and saw action at every position except catcher. He complied a .303/.398/.564 slash line over his three seasons and finished among the top 10 in program history in total bases and home runs. Voit finished his Michigan career with 46 doubles, seven triples and 35 home runs while drawing 81 walks.
He also appeared in 29 games on the mound across his first two seasons, compiling a 9-4 record with five saves and a complete game against UCLA on March 1, 2024. He struck out 66 batters while walking just 28 and held a 4.67 earned-run average.
The Mets have selected five Wolverines in the MLB Draft, with the last being Mac Lozer (33rd round) in 2917.
Voit was the first Big Ten player selected in the 2025 MLB Draft.
