For the second consecutive year, the Kentucky baseball team has earned a preseason national ranking, checking in as the No. 20 team in college baseball during the preseason, the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper announced Friday.
The Wildcats are coming off the most successful two-year run in the 103-year history of the UK baseball program, running up 78 wins since 2006. The preseason ranking marks the second preseason honor in as many years for UK, as the Wildcats began the season ranked No. 27 in the 2007 preseason Collegiate Baseball poll. UK was also tabbed by Rivals.com as the 23rd-ranked team and as the 30th-ranked team by Baseball America, in the 2007 preseason.
Kentucky returns one of the top teams in the nation, boosted by sluggers Sawyer Carroll and Collin Cowgill. The duo joined right-hander Scott Green as member of the 2008 Brooks Wallace National Player of the Year Preseason Watch list, an award annually given to the top player in collegiate baseball.
