The Michigan Wolverines athletic department has widely been regarded as one of the best in the entire country. And now, there is data that backs up that claim.
Michigan football has been a pipeline for NFL programs for years now. And to a lesser extent, the Michigan basketball program has steadily pumped out talent that frequently go in the NBA Draft as well.
However, it turns out, Michigan actually accomplished a feat this year that no other program in the country has ever done.
During the 2025 MLB Draft on Sunday, Michigan Wolverines infielder Mitch Voit was selected in the first round by the New York Mets.
This made it official that Michigan had produced first-round picks in all four major professional sports (NFL,NBA,NHL,MLB) this season, becoming the first school to ever accomplish this feat according to Greg Harvey of Opta Stats.
Naturally, there were countless Michigan sports fans who took notice of this feat and made it a point to brag about the Michigan athletics program.
It’s unlikely that we will see this feat happen anytime soon by another program. But until it does, Michigan sports fans will certainly have plenty to brag about when it comes to the athletic program undoubtedly being one of the true blue bloods across all sports.
