UK and Arkansas are both 8-1 in conference play. Everyone else has at least three losses. Still a long, long way to go, but a fantastic start. And the Cats are doing it without a ‘superstar’ year from anybody. Looking at SEC stats, the only UK player in the top 10 in any offensive or pitching category is Nick Lopez, fourth overall in batting average at .412.

UK hosts Arkansas for a weekend series in early May. Might be for the top seed in the SEC tourney. They also still have home weekend series with Alabama, Tennessee and Vandy, so plenty of opportunities to see some great college baseball this spring in Lexington.
