Michigan baseball misses NCAA Tournament again, coaching future uncertain
Summary

Michigan baseball concluded its season without a bid to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year. The Wolverines finished 34-24, suffering a disappointing 2-6 finish in the final weeks, including a sweep by Ohio State. After a strong start, including seven straight Big Ten series wins, postseason hopes dimmed following a lackluster performance in the Big Ten Tournament. Head coach Tracy Smith's position is in question as the program has not reached the NCAA Tournament since he took over in 2023, despite expectations for success.
