Mitch Voit made history for the University of Michigan, and not just for its baseball program. When Voit was selected 38th overall Sunday night in the Major League Baseball Draft, it made Michigan the first college ever to have a first-round draft pick in each of the North America’s four major professional sports in the same year.

The historic achievement was confirmed by sports statistician Greg Harvey on X (formerly Twitter).

Voit was drafted as a two-way player (hitter and pitcher) by the New York Mets, and he joined fellow Wolverines Mason Graham, Colston Loveland and Kenneth Grant (NFL), Danny Wolf (NBA) and Will Horcoff (NHL) in being selected in the first round of their respective drafts this year.

“It is an awesome accomplishment and shows the depth of our programs across the board,” Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said in a text to The News on Tuesday. “I am always very proud of our student-athletes on the field of play and in the classroom.“This is a remarkable testament to those student-athletes, their drive to succeed, as well as the coaches’ ability to recruit and enhance their performance.”

In April’s NFL Draft, Graham, a defensive tackle, went fifth overall to the Cleveland Browns; Loveland, a tight end, went 10th overall to the Chicago Bears; and Grant, a defensive tackle, went 13th overall to the Miami Dolphins.

In June’s NBA Draft, Wolf, a power forward/center, went 27th to the Brooklyn Nets.

And in June’s NHL Draft, Horcoff, a center, went 24th to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Voit was a bit of a surprise to slide up into the first round of the MLB Draft, but the Mets were intrigued by his bat and his arm. He played in 56 games in 2025, batting .346 with 14 home runs, 60 RBIs, 17 doubles and 14 stolen bases, while exclusively playing second base. He last pitched in 2024, when he had 72 strikeouts in 62 1/3 innings, while also hitting .292 with 14 homers.

Voit is Michigan’s eighth player taken in the first round of the MLB Draft, and he’s the highest MLB Draft pick since catcher David Parrish went 28th overall to the New York Yankees in 2000.
