Grading The Wildcats
Just as scouts grade prospects using the 20-80 scouting scale, we use a 20-80 scale to evaluate teams in our top 25. A score of 50 in each category is average, relative to a typical NCAA tournament team; 55 is slightly above-average; 60 is above-average (plus); 70 is well above-average (plus-plus); 80 is top of the scale, historically strong. Accordingly, 45 is fringe-average or slightly below-average; 40 is below-average; 30 is well below-average; and 20 is the extreme in that direction.
Hitting: 55
Power: 60
Speed: 50
Defense: 60
Starting pitching: 65
Bullpen: 65
Experience/Intangibles: 60
Kentucky took a huge step forward as a program last year, hosting a regional for the second time and advancing to supers for the first time. That experience should pay dividends in Mingioneâs second season at the helm. This team is loaded with quality veteran leadership, and Mingione has built a special, extraordinarily tightknit culture in a very short period of time. These players believe in each other and play for each other, and thatâs powerful. Still â Kentucky is relying on a number of newcomers to play prominent roles, and thereâs never any guarantee when it comes to juco players adjusting to the SEC. It helps that a couple of them are bouncebacks from prominent D-I schools, which should help ease the transition. On paper, this looks like Kentuckyâs most talented team ever, a bona fide contender to get the program to Omaha for the first time ever.
