Entered late in the game for O’Fallon and put his stamp on the game when pitched to. Currently ranked No. 19 in the state for his class, Seipp stands in at a sturdy 6-foot, 217-pounds with some present strength throughout his frame. After walking in his first at-bat, the freshman left-handed hitter came up to bat in the bottom of the seventh in a big spot; sending an upper 80’s fastball the other way for a two RBI double to bring the Panthers within one run of the lead. Seipp has continually shown to be one of the more advanced hitters for his age in the state and Saturday was no different.

He’s polished and powerful from the left side, finding the barrel often with present thump. Seipp’s average exit velocity (87.1 mph), max exit velocity (93.4 mph) and peak batted distance (340 ft.) are all above-average marks for his age.
