The smell of freshly trimmed grass fills the air. Arms are getting loose in the bullpen. Baseball season is here.
Fresh off a Cinderella run to the 2022 SEC Tournament semifinals, the Kentucky Bat ‘Cats are back. Nick Mingione is entering his seventh year as head coach of the Wildcats, sporting a 176-129 (.577) record over his previous sixth seasons.
Kentucky won 10 of its last 16 games last season, including a series victory over juggernaut Tennessee in early May. Coach Minge and the ‘Cats will look to capitalize on this strong finish last season even though there are many new faces suiting up in the blue and white this season.
