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 is currently conducting a national coaching search for his replacement, which will be the 19th head coach in program history. ^[1]. Another candidate is current Michigan State head coach Jake Boss Jr. Boss was an assistant coach at Michigan under Maloney, and coached Michigan's rival to a Big Ten Championship in 2011.^[2]
