2025 Kentucky Baseball Roster Tracker
The 2024-25 Kentucky Baseball offseason is officially in full swing.
The Cats have already claimed 18 players out of the Transfer Portal, along with losing 12 players to sed Portal. Four of Kentucky’s 18 portal players however were selected in the 2024 MLB Draft and likely won’t be making their way to Lexington.
Nick Minigone and his staff still have a lot of work to do, as the Cats are losing 76% of their at-bats, 87% of their home runs, 76% of their innings pitched, and 78% of their strikeouts this offseason.
Follow along with KSR’s 2025 Kentucky Baseball Roster Tracker, which will continually be updated when player decisions are made.
