When he was starting out, after two years at the University of Kentucky, Kipnis transferred to Arizona State University. This turned out to be a major life upheaval that led him to almost quit baseball. Kipnis credits a coach who gave him a second chance and what led him to look in the mirror to ask: What kind of person do I want to be? Recovering after a serious injury and major surgery, Kipnis talks openly about the choices he’s made to stay in shape and to stay on top of a young-man’s game he knows he can’t play forever.
