Third year in a row that UK has taken an early season trip to Texas.
Pretty interesting.
Also, interesting to note that we play 3 Thursday-Saturday series in a row (LSU, at Auburn, and Missouri). One would guess that would mean that we get the featured SEC Thursday night game three weeks in a row. Pretty crazy.
One thing that is different is that we start SEC play with Vanderbilt. We usually play them much later in the season. In fact, they were the last team we played in both 2018 and 2019.

Challenging 2020 Schedule Awaits Kentucky Baseball
The Wildcats open the 2020 season at TCU, play 31 games against 2019 NCAA Tournament teams
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky baseball again will face one of the most difficult schedules in the country in 2020 with 31 games slated against teams that made the 2019 NCAA Tournament, including 11 against College World Series participants, it was announced Monday.
Confirmed game times and television assignments will be announced at a later date. The full schedule can be found at UKathletics.com.
The Wildcats will open the 2020 season on the road against perennial power TCU before returning home on February 18 to open a 15-game homestand as part of a 36-game schedule at Kentucky Proud Park. The exciting home slate includes Southeastern Conference three-game series vs. Alabama, Florida, LSU, Missouri and South Carolina, as well as the annual game against Louisville and four total contests against Cincinnati and UNC Wilmington, which both made the NCAA Tournament last season.
The Cats hit the road for the eighth straight season to open SEC play, drawing defending national champion Vanderbilt in Nashville on March 13-15. They will return home to host Florida on March 20-22 before traveling to 2019 College World Series participant Mississippi State to close out March. The rest of league play consists of home series vs. Alabama (April 3-5), LSU (April 9-11), Missouri (April 23-25) and South Carolina (May 8-10) and road trips to Auburn (April 18-20), Tennessee (May 1-3) and Georgia (May 14-16) to close the season.
In a bit of a scheduling quirk the Cats will play three consecutive Thursday-Saturday series in conference play, including home ones with LSU and Missouri with a trip to Auburn in between.

Idk if you’re on Twitter but Aaron Fitt of D1 Baseball had some interesting tweets. He was at the Xavier vs UK game on Sunday. https://twitter.com/aaronfitt
Thanks for the link. I am on there sparingly. Some good info from Fitt, but he does call Zeke Lewis Zeke Miller. Lol
Interesting that we seemingly had a freshman start. Probably going to have a lot of that again.
Yes, it is by design. First several weeks are very bad weather, so it is better to get out and go play in an early tournament or an early series in somewhere that has warmer weather.
