Michigan Baseball Player Apologizes for Viral Drug-Mimicking Celebration

Mitch Voit called his gesture an 'immature decision' as he faced public scrutiny and earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors on the same day.

Mitch Voit, Michigan Wolverines infielder, mimicked snorting cocaine during a game against USC, drawing widespread criticism after the video went viral.
The celebration occurred during Michigan's 11-0 victory on Sunday, where Voit went 3-for-3 with four RBIs and a triple in the second inning.
Voit issued a public apology on Monday, describing his actions as immature and emphasizing they do not reflect his character or values.
The apology coincided with Voit being named Big Ten Player of the Week for his outstanding performance, including hitting .667 over five games.
The incident has fueled discussions about sportsmanship, accountability, and the challenges of maintaining a public image in collegiate athletics.
