Admittedly, I don’t follow college baseball at all and know very little about the teams. It seems, however, that a substantial group of Kentucky fans are jumping on the wagon for this team, despite Kentucky being pretty average in the past. Can someone with more background following college baseball tell me if they are “real” (legimately good/title contenders), or have they caught some breaks and had a good season but maybe more of a fluke? I looked for run differential stats which I find to be a pretty solid indicator in MLB, but didn’t see any.

No. It’s a product of a fortunate schedule.

Pretty average in the past is being too kind.

We're 20-7 so far in the league. Take one game at a time and see how it goes. I would've been happy this year with a tourney birth.

If you're wondering how far we go, our pitching has been awful lately. Gotta get that cleaned up. Just enjoy the ride.

There are some very good teams in baseball this year but no dominant team. The door is open wide and Kentucky has as good a shot as any imo..

Kentucky's Head Coach Mingione is a hell of a coach. He will continue to win and be in the thick of it for years to come. Wish we had him at Auburn.

I mean UK Baseball did lose a weekend series to a non tournament team, Kennesaw State at home. Then they lost another weekend series at home against Tennessee.

I think they will choke in the Supers at home.

Kentucky is a really good team. Not sure why you would even ask this question.

As real as real gets. Your hitting is very good.

Do you mean like... do they actually exist? Is this a question about whether or not we are all hallucinating Kentucky Baseball?

Is this a dream? Is this reality?

But if you mean if are they are a very good baseball team, well yes, they are, and playing quite well at the moment.

Baseball is weird. The team with the hot hand can go cold as a rock in the post season and the team that was a smoking pile of poo can get hot and win it all. I think Kentucky has a fine team and hopefully they will do well in the Big Dance but we will see.
