The University of Kentucky's body of work in the 2018 baseball season might have been good enough many years to earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
This year, it was not.
Kentucky finished 34-22 overall. It was ranked No. 32 in the final RPI of the season. The Wildcats won series against four Southeastern Conference teams — Auburn, South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi State — and one non-conference team — Texas Tech — that made the NCAA field. UK also scored non-conference victories against four other teams that made the field of 64 — Houston, Louisville, Morehead State and Indiana.
