When the New York Mets selected University of Michigan infielder Mitch Voit in the first round of the 2025 MLB draft, it completed the cycle for the Wolverines. No, not the typical cycle you see on the baseball diamond. The selection gave Michigan a first-round pick in each of the four major North American sports leagues drafts this year.

When Voit was picked by the Mets Sunday, Michigan became the first school ever to have a first-round selection in the MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL draft during the same year according to Greg Harvey of Stats Perform.

While the Michigan baseball, football, basketball or hockey programs didn't win a national title this year, they accomplished a widespread feat across the four major sports that has yet to be seen. A feather in the cap for each program, as well as the school as a whole. Many universities have their individual calling cards as a basketball school or a football school, but the Wolverines are excelling across the board. They even won a national title in men's gymnastics this year—too bad there's not a draft for that or a Wolverine would probably be at the top of the board.
