Kentucky baseball is less than a month away from first pitch. To set the stage for the season, Bat Cats Central is previewing position groups on the roster. Today's focus is on third base.

Third base was occupied for 39 games by Patrick Herrera last season. Ethan Hindle made seven starts and had taken over the job, but a foot injury in practice in April sidelined him for the rest of the season. In addition to those two, former Wildcats Kyuss Gargett made 10 starts at third and Dylan Koontz made one start.
