Looks like UK picked up an interesting 2017 commit today. Jimmy Ramsey, 6'7, 215 pounder who will pitch and play 1B for UK. Was committed to Oregon.. don't know why he switched so late.

Appears as if the Cats have picked up a flurry of commitments in the '19 and '20 class over the last few days. Will try and compile a list when able but it seems the staff has been busy.
One KY kid - Jackson Fristoe - a RHP from Paducah.

With around 23 new players set to join this coming season and around 20 players coming back from last season, how does the roster get down to 35?
A few guys who didn't play at all this year won't be returning.
It looks like Aaron Perry has made his decision to turn pro.

Looks like the Cats picked up a 2019 commitment from Drew Grace, a SS from Orwigsburg PA.
2018 commitment to the Cats in the form of Alex Degen, a 6'7" RHP from Lebanon NJ.
Another 2018 commitment for the Cats - a 6'2" RHP/OF Will Gambino from NJ. Has hit 94 on the gun this summer and has consistently thrown in the 87-90 range.
Looks like the list needs updating again. Seems like a really fluid thing, along with the returning players. I wonder when we can confirm the 2018 team?
Kennedy Norton, 6-1, 185, RHP/3B, out of Georgia added to the list today.
PK, The current roster listed at UKAthletics has 42 players. How does that work exactly?
@Jeff Drummond can we start this over with the 2018 and 2019 commits?
Yes, it would be a good starting point for what we can expect for this team going forward.
This is pinned. I guess I could just try to update it.
Got a commit last night from Lexington middle infielder Julius Scearce. Good looking kid. 2021 class. Interesting that it seems like a kind of late offer.

Kentucky doesn’t announce signings for some reason but here’s what Perfect Game has. Also one JC if you go to the ‘19 class that’s for this cycle, Robinson.

Several Kentucky commits were named to the OHSBCA All-Ohio teams:

LHP: Hunter Richardson, ranked No. 112 nationally in Perfect Game's 2025 rankings.
INF: Blake Bowen
Division II All-Ohio First Team
OF: Lucas Moore
Division II All-Ohio honorable mention
UTIL: Tommy Skelding. Skelding is listed as a utility player here but will be a pitcher at Kentucky.

Not at this point in time. I think it'd take something dramatic like McDonnell leaving. He jumped on the Louisville offer quickly.
