Latest News
| Jason Kipnis provides heroics |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/18/13) Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis is now batting .244 on the season after going 2 for 4 on Friday against the Mariners.
Kipnis hit his seventh home run in the game. He went deep for a three-run blast in the 10th inning to win the game for the Tribe.
Kipnis' heroics Friday only added to the incredible May he's having. He's raised his average from .189 to .244 during the month as he's gone 18 for 61 (.295) with five doubles, six homers and 19 RBI.

| Jason Kipnis finding success with short swing |
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(5/17/13) Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis credits his new approach at the plate for digging him out of an early season slump, according to MLB.com. Kipnis has found success with a shorter swing, as he has recorded 12 extra-base hits over his past 13 games.
"I started squaring up the ball more," Kipnis said. "When you put the ball in play a lot more and start squaring it up, a lot more things happen. I started driving it to the gaps and down the lines and, when that happens, it leads to extra-base hits when you come out of the box fast."
Kipnis is hitting .302 (16 for 53) with five homers and 16 RBI over that span. He has a .236/.303/.472 line in 127 at-bats.

| Jason Kipnis beginning to sizzle |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/15/13) Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis had a big offensive performance in a 10-4 win over the Phillies on Wednesday.
Batting second, Kipnis went 3 for 4 with a walk, three runs scored and three RBI. He doubled twice in the game and homered in the eighth inning for a three-run shot, his sixth of the year.
After all that production, Kipnis' batting average remains just .236. Still, his bat is definitely warming as he's raised his average from .217 over his last 10 games with four homers and 10 RBI. He's up to six homers and 20 RBI over 127 at-bats.

| Jason Kipnis hits another first-inning home run |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/13/13) Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis provided all the offense in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Yankees. Kipnis' first-inning solo home run off David Phelps stood as the game-winning run in a 1-0 victory for Cleveland.
All five of Kipnis' home runs this season and eight of his last nine dating back to last year have come in the first inning. Only two of those home runs have produced more than one RBI.
Kipnis is batting .283 (13 for 46) with two triples, three doubles, four home runs and 13 RBI in his last 11 games.

| Jason Kipnis has two RBI in win |
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(5/12/13) Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis knocked in two runs as part of a 1-for-4 day Sunday against Detroit.
Kipnis's two-run double was all the Indians managed against Tigers starter Rick Porcello. Kipnis has eight extra-base hits and 12 RBI in 11 games in May, both totals are at least double what he managed in 17 starts in April.

| Cleveland second baseman Jason Kipnis had two very different halves in 2012. His final line was impressive: a .257 average with 14 home runs and 31 steals in 591 at-bats. But Kipnis hit .277 with 11 home runs and 20 of the steals in the first half, dropping to just .233 with three home runs and 11 steals in the second half. His second half was mainly dragged down by a hauntingly bad August, in which Kipnis hit .180 in 24 games. From Sept. 1 on, Kipnis hit .274, his second-highest average of any month. This is somewhat encouraging, as it suggests Kipnis just hit a wall in August and bounced back in September, as opposed to him flailing without a clue in the second half of the year. Consider Kipnis a top option at second base for 2013, capable of carrying a nice average, hitting for some power (maybe 15 home runs) and flirting with 30 steals again. He should be off the board by the time double-digit rounds approach. (Updated 12/5/12) |
