PBR: How did you do your junior year? What were your high school statistics? And how did your team do?
Sipp: My junior year season started out a little rough coming off of a torn labrum and surgery on my left arm. I played in a few games, when I did play I batted .444, 5 RBI’s, 8 Runs, and 15+ stolen bases. Our Tiger baseball team went 9-12, then lost in the regional final.
PBR: What are you goals for your senior season?
Sipp: My main goal is to get bigger and stronger anyway I can. I’m wanting to focus on hitting to swing the bat better than the .444 average I hit last year.
