Playing career
Amateur and minors
Zahn played for Toledo DeVilbiss High School and the University of Michigan. He was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the fifth round of the January 1968 Major League Baseball draft. After signing with the Dodgers, he played in the minor leagues for six years before making his major league debut on September 2, 1973.
Major leagues
During his major league career, Zahn pitched with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs of the National League and the Minnesota Twins and California Angels of the American League. Geoff won ten or more games for six consecutive seasons (1977–82) with the Twins and Angels, totaling 81 wins over that span.
Zahn's best season came in 1982 when he compiled an 18–8 record, helping the Angels win the American League Western Division crown. Zahn was selected as the left-handed pitcher on the Sporting News AL All-Star Team after the 1982 season.
Zahn was primarily a starter during his career, although on May 10, 1975, he earned his only major league save. He pitched the final four innings of a 5-1 Cubs victory over the Padres, allowing a hit and no runs, and preserved the win for starting pitcher Rick Reuschel.[1]
Coaching career
Zahn was the head of Michigan baseball from 1996 to 2001. He compiled a record 163–169–2 over six seasons, leading the Wolverines to a championship in the 1999 Big Ten Tournament. During the 1995 season, Zahn had served as an assistant coach at Pepperdine.[2]
