For Louisville and Kentucky baseball, 2024 was a tale of two seasons.
U of L missed the NCAA Tournament for the third time in the last four years, while UK advanced to its first College World Series.
The Wildcats look to ride momentum from their historic run into 2025, even with 29 new faces in the locker room. The Cardinals hope to put an end to their postseason streakiness and return to the kind of success head coach Dan McDonnell's teams are used to. Before the COVID-shortened 2020 season, Louisville missed the NCAA Tournament just once in his 13 years.
