Moby Benedict

Induction:
1994
Class:
1956

Moby Benedict began his U-M career as a shortstop for Ray Fisher, earning All-Big Ten Conference honors twice and captaining the team his senior season. Upon graduation in 1956, Benedict moved to professional baseball within the Detroit Tigers' organization. He left pro ball in 1959 when Don Lund became Michigan's baseball coach and named Benedict as his assistant. He was with the Wolverines when they won the 1962 NCAA national championship. When Lund left Michigan in 1963, Benedict took the head coaching reins, compiling a 345-238-5 record from 1963 to 1979. He led the Wolverines to Big Ten titles in 1975, 1976 and 1978 and appearances in NCAA Regional Tournament play four straight years. The 1977 team won 33 games to set a school record (since broken), and the 1978 team placed fifth in the College World Series.
