Preseason roundtable: Projecting Kentucky’s standouts

Let's jump right in. What would you deem a successful season for Kentucky baseball in 2026?

Terry: My personal preseason expectation is for Kentucky to win an NCAA regional. The Wildcats have done this in two of the past three seasons and reached the final of the Clemson Regional during a rebuilding season. Hosting (and winning) a regional at Kentucky Proud Park would be icing on the cake, but returning to the NCAA Super Regionals and being just two more wins from Omaha would make for another great season, in my opinion.
