What is Bat Cats Central?

Bat Cats Central is a University of Kentucky baseball newsletter and website that debuted in 2023, but re-launched as a subscription-based model in June 2024. It is the only media outlet in the Kentucky market solely devoted to covering the UK baseball program. 

The publication specializes in breaking news, in-depth high school and transfer portal recruiting coverage, team analysis and insider news.

Who publishes it?

I’m Derek Terry, a University of Kentucky School of Journalism and Media graduate. I was also a beat writer covering UK football, basketball and football for seven years. The Cats’ Pause/247Sports.com (2017-22) and Rivals.com/Cats Illustrated (2015-17) were among my stops, including an internship in college with D1baseball.com.

While I no longer cover sports as a full-time job, I use my experience in the profession to guide the coverage of Bat Cats Central and produce work you won't find anywhere else.

What does it cost?

The cost for full access is $6 per month or $60 for the year. Anyone can sign up for free and access content that is not behind a paywall.
