Scouting Report

2/10/19 -Athletic, 5-foot-10, 160, Pippins is a well-proportioned athlete with present strength.  He is a reliable outfielder with the speed to stay in centerfield. He has a good feel for throwing footwork and the transition to throw.  He throws from a high ¾ slot, getting consistently on top of the ball for true, online throws.  At the plate, he stands tall, retaining good posture throughout his swing with a high finish.  Pippin looks-to-pull and the high finish produces a fair amount of flyballs.  His twitchy swing with wiry strength may provide sneaky power down the line, but he presently may be better suited to use his speed and work to the middle of the field. Pippin’s speed plays and there is a lot to work with.
