Mets draft Mitch Voit, who went viral for cocaine-snorting celebration

Mitch Voit made a name for himself long before his first-round MLB draft selection by the Mets on Sunday night — but not for the best reason.

Voit went viral in March while playing for Michigan when he ripped a bases-clearing triple against USC and celebrated by pretending to snort the third-base line chalk, mimicking the act of snorting cocaine.

The 20-year-old later issued an apology.

“I would like to apologize for my actions on third base yesterday,” Voit posted on X on March 17. “I made an immature decision in the heat of the moment. The gesture I made does not reflect my character, the household I was raised in, or the block M that I represent in any kind of way. I take full responsibility for what I did, and I am truly sorry to all those who I have negatively impacted by doing this.”

Now, the pitcher-turned-second-baseman joins the Mets’ system as the 38th pick in the 2025 draft.

He last pitched in 2024, and after internal brace surgery on his right elbow in spring 2024, he focused solely on hitting this past season. 

He posted a .346 batting average with 14 home runs and a 1.140 OPS across 56 games in 2025.

Voit described himself as a “winner” who “will do anything that it takes for the team to win,” during a Zoom call with reporters Sunday, during which he was not asked about the viral celebration.

Mitch Voit was a two-way player for much of his career but did not pitch this past season at Michigan. AP

Voit also made some history for the Wolverines with his selection in the draft, as Michigan became the first school ever to have a first-round selection in each of the same year’s NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB drafts.

While it’ll be some time before Mets fans see Voit in the big leagues, if ever, he immediately becomes an intriguing name amongst New York’s farm system.

“They’re winners,” he said of the Mets, “and I think I fit real good in with that kind of program and organization.”
