Where a great underdog story meets a traditional college baseball power, you’ll find Kien Vu.
A lightly-recruited player out of San Diego, Kien found his way to Tempe as a walk-on. Heading into his sophomore year last season, he was set up to be in the outfield rotation. But once he got a chance to be an everyday player, he raked...and never stopped raking on the way to hitting over .400 and becoming the 133rd All-American in ASU program history. Now established as one of the nation's best, he's looking to lead the 2025 Sun Devils back to the postseason.
On this episode, Kien and I discuss the keys to his breakout season, the mental aspects of baseball, the makeup of this year's squad, the San Diego burrito scene and Burrito Express Diamond Deal, and more.
