2026 Expectations?

[axle2288]

Thoughts on how everyone thinks our team will be next year? I have heard some good things about some of the transfers, I know Ming and the staff seem to be working hard right now. Do we know where we rank in the transfer portal classes to this point?

Everything else is, so guess is YES.

Depends on the results of the MLB draft. If chips fall in our favor, top 20 team.

Well I sure hope some of the members from the Rivals site come on over. I am missing posts from Comeback and Ninja as well as others. I guess the next big hurdle is the July 13-14 MLB draft and how that shakes out for us. We are now 7th in the transfer portal rankings.

James McCoy to Georgia Southern is a head-scratcher for me. I guess he got promised a full time starting job? But dang Georgia Southern had a losing record last year.

Alex Duffey is an exciting transfer landing him in the portal with Burkes graduating. A huge upgrade offensively. Tyler Cerny has been one of the hottest hitters in the MLB Draft League. Carson Hansen having a strong summer too.

Super regional at minimum is the expectation as it should be. From there it’s all on matchup and health of pitching.

Next big two days for UK Baseball are July 13-14 the MLB Draft. Currently we have three players listed in the top 250 (recruits and transfers) that will likely be drafted and we will have to go thru the waiting process to see if they sign or come to UK. Conner Essenburg is 221, Josh Flores is 243, and Jase Mitchell is 246. Although we were lucky last year with Tyler Bell coming to UK it is rare that players drafted in the first ten rounds make it to campus. Last year there were 4 and the year prior there were only 2. Will have to keep our fingers crossed.
