A viral tweet during Monday’s MLB Draft confirmed what all fans of the Michigan Wolverines have known for years: we have it good. When Mitch Voit was selected by the New York Mets with their (competitive balance tax spending-adjusted first-round pick), the Wolverines officially became the first ever athletic department to have a player selected in the first round of all five major drafts in a single season.
There is probably not much else that needs to be said – the tweet tells the story, and it sure is a fun one. But since it is the middle of July with not a ton going on in the world of college athletics, how about a quick, three-pronged, minimal-analysis breakdown of this feat?
