Tyler
Kipp

5-foot-8, 150 pounds, lean, athletic build, sloped shoulders, will continue to develop physically as he matures. Quick twitch athlete. Average runner, posting a 7.53 sixty-yard dash which should improve. Shows defensive promise as a catcher with the tools to play the outfield as a fall back option. Live arm that was clocked at 70 MPH from the outfield and 67 MPH behind the plate. Pop times ranged between 2.15-2.22, likely to quicken as he cuts out extraneous movement out of the chute. Kipp rides low behind the plate, with a solid first step. Receiving skills are still developing. In the box, Kipp employs a leg kick to trigger the swing. His loose hands work from the shoulders, accelerating the bat through the zone. Posted an exit velocity off the tee at 83 MPH. Kipp gets good extension and gets full body into the swing, rotating his hips all the way through. His power was on display during batting practice, parking multiple shots over the fence to the pull side. Also has feel for finding opposite field gap. A definite follow in the Connecticut class of 2021.
