🔼 Strong Start. The underclassmen of the 2025 baseball team had many great performances. Luke Lawrence finished the year second on the team with a .306 batting average. Tyler Bell was second on the team with 10 home runs. Ryan Schwartz hit .317 in 23 games and knocked in 15 runs. Ben Cleaver was 6-3 with a 3.25 ERA, striking out 92 batters in 83 innings of work.
Fill in the Quote. Can you guess what baseball head coach Nick Mingione said in his quote?

🔵 ONE BIG THING
Standard Set. The baseball team had three seniors who set the new standard for the UK baseball program: Devin Burkes, Evan Byers and Jackson Nove. Over the last four seasons, Kentucky has won 150 games, just one win short of being the winningest senior class in school history. The Cats have also been to three consecutive NCAA Tournaments and three consecutive regional finals for the first time in program history. As a program, the Wildcats have won 30 NCAA Tournament games in program history, and the three men have even a part of 12 of those victories.
