    One of the best things the new Kentucky coaching staff did in 2017 as they turned the Wildcats into a NCAA regional host was figuring out how to get value from players already on the roster who had struggled. After serving as Kentucky's light-hitting everyday shortstop as a sophomore, Heady lost that job in 2016 as he battled injuries and ineffectiveness at the plate. He came into 2017 as a career .188 hitter, but he got stronger and put together better at-bats as a senior, hitting a career-best .283/.413/.435. Heady is still a below-average hitter, but now his bat plays well enough to make him a bottom-of-the-order option because of his above-average arm and defense at shortstop. He's also played second base in the past and most likely projects in pro ball as a utility infielder.
