As the No. 12 overall seed in the field, Kentucky Baseball will host a four-team NCAA Regional site this coming weekend when NCAA Tournament play begins across the country. The Wildcats are one of eight SEC programs to earn one of the sixteen home-field advantages, meaning half of the nationally-seeded hosts are from the Southeastern Conference. Kentucky had a winning record in that league.
In postseason play, the ‘Cats will welcome West Virginia, Indiana, and Ball State to the Bluegrass for the Lexington Regional, where Kentucky Proud Park will host its first-ever NCAA Tournament action. Only twice before has Kentucky played host to an NCAA Regional, and both came before Kentucky’s new $49 million facility opened in 2019.
