Mike Walseth
Class of 2021
Baseball: 1967-69

One of the great power hitters in Gopher history, Mike Walseth led the Big Ten in home runs and runs batted in in 1968 and 1969. The St. Paul, Minn., native was named a First Team All-American as a first baseman in 1969 and was a two-time First Team All-Big Ten selection. Walseth was also a two-time Team MVP.

The Gophers enjoyed great success during Walseth's career, reaching two NCAA Regionals and winning the Big Ten title in 1968 and 1969 under legendary head coach Dick Siebert.

Following his collegiate career, Walseth was drafted in the seventh round of the MLB Draft by the Atlanta Braves. He played 10 seasons of professional baseball.
