Watch Jason Kipnis bust out a sweet spin move to avoid Ian Kinsler's tag

You know Jason Kipnis, high school heartthrob, Segway enthusiast and jovial second baseman. But do you know Jason Kipnis, basepaths ninja?

Kipnis walked to lead off the fifth inning for the Indians in an 11-4 win over the Tigers on Friday night. The next batter, Francisco Lindor, grounded out to Ian Kinsler. But instead of running straight into certain doom (aka a double play) --
BAM. SPIN MOVE.

Kipnis proceeded to second safely, and eventually scored on Mike Napoli's home run. Spin move, successful.
Now he just has to try that on a certain two-wheeled personal mode of transportation and he's all set for the next season of America's Got Talent.
