“We knocked down a lot of doors this season, but I’m not satisfied,” said Nove. “I want to earn my degree and finish what we started.”

This past season, Hogan played in 24 games averaging a 3.10 ERA and a 1-0 record this past season.
“Kentucky is special,” said Hogan. “For the first time in my career I feel at home and at a place where I can be the best version of myself.”
The righty went on to write that it would’ve taken a perfect situation to leave early, but he is better suited to stay in Lexington for his final season of eligibility.
“I want to continue to grow the program and give back to the family that has already given so much to me,” said Hogan.
