When looking forward to the 2006 baseball season, Kentucky skipper John Cohen sees a breakthrough year for the team. It’s easy to see why. Entering his third year, Cohen has laid the foundation for not only a successful spring this year, but a solid program for years to come.
After hauling in back-to-back nationally recognized recruiting classes, Cohen and his staff have assembled a team prepared to compete and win in the rigorous Southeastern Conference, undoubtedly the toughest league in the nation.
With seven returning starters in the field and nearly every pitcher coming back, the 2006 Kentucky Baseball team is poised to reach heights never seen on the Bluegrass.
A year ago, the Wildcats secured their first winning season in five years and just their second since 1996. With a 29-27 overall record, UK showed a five-game improvement from Cohen’s first season and a won 12 more games than they did in 2002 – two years before he arrived.
While the team posted a 7-22 mark in the unforgiving SEC, the record was deceiving. In 14 of the team’s 22 losses, UK held the lead. Eight times in league action, the Wildcats lost in their opponent’s final at bat.
