The Kentucky Wildcats baseball program has received some good news today regarding next season's roster. Top baseball prospect James Paxton (LHP), drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the supplemental first round of this summer's MLB Draft, has decided to return for his senior season. Paxton is considered one of the top lefties in the college game and immediately gives Kentucky a force atop the starting rotation.We also learned today that five of the seven incoming freshmen drafted in the MLB Draft are also making the trip to Lexington this fall and bypassing a major league contract. This class includes three more pitchers, giving the Cats a young, but loaded pitching staff.
Great news for head coach Gary Henderson and his staff. With this news, Kentucky is expected to be a major obstacle in this year's SEC race. Now all we need is an updated stadium and we'll be good to go.
