Kentucky landed a commitment from one of its top targets in the 2026 class last week.
Robert Omidi, ranked as the No. 1 prospect in Ontario by Prep Baseball Report and a top-150 player overall in the class by both PBR and Perfect Game, committed to the Wildcats on Oct. 17. He visited Lexington in late September, which led to his commitment a few weeks later.
