Joey Velaquez, hit .255 (70-for-275) with nine home runs and a .340 OBP in baseball.  In football, he had seven tackles and recovered one fumble on special teams.  Joey leaves with one B1G baseball championship ring and three B1G football championship rings.

Good luck in your future endeavors, Joey, a true Michigan man.

Yes, he has 1 year of baseball eligibility remaining--his "COVID Year."  As of now he's still listed on Michigan's baseball roster.  I'm not sure how this works, if he will stay at Michigan through baseball season and then transfer, or if he will end up somewhere else right away.

Since there's only about a week until Spring classes start at most places, I assume he's at Michigan through May/June.

I remember some excitement when he committed since he was a big hitter and from Columbus.  But never made much of an impact and didn’t play at all this season
