Kentucky Baseball Lands Lefty from South Carolina

[Matt Dillon]

What’s a pitching rotation without a quality southpaw? Nick Mingione searched through the transfer portal and found a lefty to add to the Kentucky pitching staff.

Jackson Soucie tells Derek Terry of Bat Cats Central that he’s committing to Kentucky. The former JUCO product spent the 2025 season playing for South Carolina.

Soucie entered the transfer portal eight days ago. The Canadian considered making the move to Georgia and Florida, but ultimately could not pass up the opportunity to join Nick Mingione’s program.
