As winter slowly transitioned into spring, the college baseball season was quickly approaching, meaning it was the time of year for publications to release their preseason conference rankings.
What did most of these rankings of the SEC have in common? Kentucky baseball rounded out the bottom of the conference.
“Hoo boy. Kentucky lost almost all of its notable players from last season, and this isn’t a program that typically recruits at the same level as its top SEC counterparts,” 247Sports published.
The SEC coaches poll confirmed the thoughts of most of the media, placing Kentucky at sixth in the Eastern Division, ahead of only Missouri.
