Expectations are high for Nick Mingione’s Kentucky baseball program as he enters his 10th season as a head coach in the SEC. The Bats Cats are appearing in multiple top 25 rankings and star shortstop Tyler Bell is getting plenty of All-American recognition. This program also loaded up in the transfer portal to solidify the lineup and provide protection for Bell. UK has an opportunity to score runs but this team’s success will determined by what happens on the mound. There is no denying that.
Mingione believes that Kentucky’s pitching staff is the “tip of the spear” for every team.
