Monday afternoon, the NCAA Baseball Selection Committee will release the bracket for the road to the 2023 College World Series. Unfortunately for Michigan baseball fans, the Wolverines have a virtually impossible chance at getting a bid, having finished with a .500 record of 28 wins and 28 losses.
It can’t be questioned that despite the ultimate result, new head coach Tracy Smith got the most out of what could be expected for this squad by getting them to the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament. There was also a handful of bright spots for the future of the program between two-way phenom Mitch Voit and heavy hitting freshman Jonathan Kim, both of whom were named to the Big Ten’s All-Freshman Team.
