Budding MLB Star Looks Back on Days at UK

Cleveland Indians young star, Jason Kipnis, was once a Kentucky Wildcat. He looks back on his time in Lexington as a learning experience.

“Being a good player in high school, and then going to redshirt at Kentucky, to be honest I did not know how to handle it,” he said. “I was immature and took the wrong steps, probably body language, everything was just not the way it was supposed to be.”

“It wasn’t anything really bad. The coaches and I didn’t see eye to eye. But looking back on it, I can’t really blame them. Skill or not, talent or not, I probably didn’t have the right attitude they wanted to see on their team.”
