The catcher is known as half of the battery that makes a baseball game go, but for Kentucky baseball, Devin Burkes might just be the full battery that makes the team go.
The redshirt junior played his first full season as a Wildcat in 2023, starting all 61 games, and put up stellar numbers on offense.
Burkes hit for a .291 batting average with 65 hits, 38 walks, 53 runs batted in and was hit by 15 pitches.
Behind the plate Burkes played a clean season as he did not commit a single error and caught nine runners attempting to steal.
