Mississippi State baseball preview: Bulldogs vs. Kentucky Wildcats
Lemonis and the Bulldogs can’t overlook this Kentucky baseball team. The Wildcats have won 11 in a row and look really solid.
3 opposing players to watch
Émilien Pitre
UK is only 17 games into the season, but Émilien Pitre has been incredible and has a .450 batting average so far. He only has one home run, but he’s a really consistent hitter that the Bulldogs will need to account for.
Hunter Gilliam
While Hunter Gilliam‘s batting average isn’t as high as Pitre’s, Gilliam does boast three home runs so far this year. Oh, and he’s still hitting with a .431 batting average. He’s doing alright for himself right now.
Devin Burkes
Like Gilliam, Devin Burkes is a pretty solid hitter. So far this year, Burkes has 23 RBIs and 3 home runs to go with a .324 batting average. That’s something to keep an eye on this weekend.
