The Nick Mingione era of Kentucky baseball got off to an explosive start. Following his sixth season in Lexington, the program is just treading water.
Mingione earned SEC Coach of the Year honors when the rookie head coach took Kentucky to its first ever Super Regional in 2017. Since the 2-0 sweep at Louisville, the Bat Cats have not returned to the postseason.
The Kentucky baseball team finished the 2022 regular season 12-18 in SEC regular season play. The Cats squeaked into the SEC Tournament as the No. 12 seed and won three games before falling to Tennessee.
