Plunked but productive: hot Kane Kepley bringing his brand of grit to Chicago Cubs system

Posted Aug 19, 2025
The Carolina League is learning that it’s not a good idea to pitch inside against Kane Kepley, the scrappy 5-8, 180-pound former Tar Heel center fielder. In 61 games at UNC last spring, he was hit by 27 pitches, the second-highest season total in program history. Kepley doesn’t mind if his style of play leaves him bruised — it’s almost like a badge of honor. (Tar Heel Tribune)
