It is time to have a very real conversation about Kentucky baseball: This team is legit.
Following a 2023 season that ended in the Super Regionals for Kentucky, fans were left to wonder what was next. Could the Cats do it again or was it lightning in a bottle? After all, looking at head coach Nick Mingione’s record in seasons prior, the picture wasn’t pretty.
Now, as the team reaches the midway point of the 2024 regular season, it has once again exceeded all expectations.
With its most recent road sweep over the Ole Miss Rebels — the first in program history — Kentucky became the only SEC team thus far to sweep a road series this season as the Wildcats currently sit atop the SEC East with an 8-1 conference record.
