It's always a little hard to find information on the baseball program. I haven't seen the MVC release their preview yet. However, in following as much as I can, two players take notice for me -
Kendall Ewell - a 6'3" OF that transferred to UIC from Kentucky. Originally from Calumet City, he was a 40th round draft pick but went to Eastern Kentucky instead. He was a Golden Spikes Semifinalist in 2022 and transferred to Kentucky for the 2023 season. However, injuries seem to have limited him and he is at UIC for his final college season.
Vincent Trapani - a 6'1" starting pitcher. He originally went to Arkansas and redshirted there for a season. Coming out of Wisconsin, he was the top ranked pitcher and the #2 overall recruit. However, he has had some injuries that he has battled back from. He transferred to UIC last year but was recovering from arm surgery. I believe he's fully healthy and ready to go.

We held off a late rally to beat Kansas 11-9 in our opener. Gave up 8 runs in the last two innings.
Interesting we wore uniforms that simply said “Chicago” on the front. Very cool. I don’t recall seeing any UIC team ever wear that before.

Was listening to the Kap and JHood show yesterday morning and Kap noted that UIC baseball was opening the season at Kansas later in the day. Kap called a UIC win; "book it" he said. Kap nailed it.

Kansas is a middle of the conference Bog 12 team so a very nice win to start off.
The league as a whole has a nice first which included a win over Louisville by Indiana State.
Will be nice to get a win today and clinch the series.

Two wins and both pretty damn convincing too.
Team looking good early on.
Wish it was always this easy to watch!
