The Michigan Wolverines baseball team represents the University of Michigan in NCAA Division I college baseball. Along with most other Michigan athletic teams, the baseball team participates in the Big Ten Conference. The Wolverines play their home games in Ray Fisher Stadium. On May 22, 2012 coach Rich Maloney and the university mutually decided it was in the best interests of the program that his contract not be renewed. Michigan hired Erik Bakich as the Wolverine's 19th head coach in the history of Michigan baseball. Bakich was most recently a coach at Maryland, but was also an assistant coach at Clemson and Vanderbilt, and is an alumnus of East Carolina, where he is most noted for having a 1.000 fielding rate.

Famous quotes containing the word baseball:
“When Dad can’t get the diaper on straight, we laugh at him as though he were trying to walk around in high-heel shoes. Do we ever assist him by pointing out that all you have to do is lay out the diaper like a baseball diamond, put the kid’s butt on the pitcher’s mound, bring home plate up, then fasten the tapes at first and third base?”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
