Big-framed at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds. Shipley possesses a strong frame that helps him generate some above average physical tools, specifically his arm strength and raw power. At the plate, he peaked with a 97 mph exit velo in BP. Sets up in a narrow, uptight stance with bend in his lower half. Takes short forward stride with a soft landing as he separates against his hands. Front hip opens up at landing but shoulders stay closed, allowing him to create tension in his core. Barrel stays behind the ball, allowing him to use his frame/leverage to his advantage. Gets easy lift to his pull-side. Defensively, does a solid job of sinking hips and staying low for a bigger framed catcher. Clean actions when getting out of his crouch and into throwing motion. Tight arm action with a high ¾ release. Ball comes out of hand firm and carries all the way thru the bag. Flashed consistent accuracy on all throws.
