50 Greatest Kentucky Baseball Programs

Featured Replies

This is awesome stuff, @gchs_uk9. It's interesting to see how a team like Owensboro still ranks 3rd all-time when they have won their region only once in 30 years. They must've been a force back in the day.

33 of the Top 50 have won a title. That's pretty cool.

I was thinking the same thing when I first saw the list. Unless you're from Owensboro, you probably don't think of them as a baseball school. But clearly they were at one point. They packed a lot of winning into a 25 year span that ended over 30 years ago.

And the gap between the top 3 to 4 is fairly substantial as well.

 

There's definitely a top tier and then everyone else.

Another thing that caught my attention was how pretty much all of the numbers you see listed for PRP (#1) and Harrison County (#4) can be attributed to just two men, Bill Miller and Mac Whitaker. Speaks volumes about their stature in this sport.

Not looking to put more work on you @gchs_uk9, but you seem to enjoy this. What would the list look like if you just used the last 25 years?

Take the bait, @gchs_uk9! I'd love to see what you come up with.

Just looking at the championships since 1995...I'd guess that the top 2 spots would stay the same. (PRP with 5, St. X with 3) After that, perhaps Harrison County moves up to #3, since they've got 3 titles in the past 25 years. The other big mover could be Lexington Catholic, who also happens to have 3 titles. So, it'd be interesting to see if that matches up with what @gchs_uk9 would come up with.

26. Bardstown St. Joseph Eagles (27 points)

Region Championships: 5

Round One Wins: 0

Quarterfinal Wins: 4

Semifinal Wins: 3

State Championships: 1 (1953)

 

Shout out to the St. Joe Prep Eagles — Undefeated since 1968!

I'm impressed to see McCracken Co. at #36 after just 6 years as a program.

In terms of recent success, they’d have to be in the 5-8 range.

FWIW, the three schools that consolidated to make McCracken all had good success as well. Heath ranked 71st, Reidland 72nd, and Lone Oak 80th. Those three combined to win 19 regional championships.

I'd be interested to see the rankings from last 25 years. Dont think 1 or 2 change but after that should be a good mix.

Ask and, belatedly, it shall be given unto you. Point values are measured the same, tiebreakers are the same, this covers 1995-present.
