Kentucky baseball head coach Nick Mingione signed an extension that will keep him the skipper of the Bat Cats through the 2029 season.

Alongside news of Mingione’s extension, news also broke that pitching coach Dan Roszel and recruiting coordinator Austin Cousino also signed extensions.

After signing an extension last October, Mingione led the Wildcats to the best season in program history that resulted in the first ever trip to Omaha and the Men’s College World Series.

According to the UK Office of Legal Counsel page, the new extension sees Mingione get a significant increase in salary as he will now earn $1,175,000 before incentives in 2025, which is up from the $805,000 he was set to earn with the previous extension.
