Bowen Kipp, Cedar Ridge (TX), 2030 Positional Profile: SS/RHP Athletic, projectable frame with good width through the shoulders and back and a solid lower half. Shows plenty of room to continue adding strength. At the plate, hits from a balanced setup with a simple load. Hands work back on plane into a solid hitting position with a clean path through the zone. Shows feel for the barrel with the ability to work into contact and create extension out front. Continued development in sequencing the lower half and allowing the upper body to rotate more freely will help improve timing and overall impact. Power projects well within the swing and should continue to develop as strength and efficiency improve. Defensively, shows active feet with good rhythm and the ability to play through the ball. Actions are clean with developing quickness and feel for positioning. Arm works with a quick, athletic path and developing strength that should continue to improve. On the mound, works with rhythm through the delivery and moves down the slope with feel for the front side. Continued development in direction will help improve command and consistency. Arm action is athletic with present hand speed. Fastball shows solid spin traits with projection for more velocity. Breaking ball shows feel with developing shape, and the changeup shows feel with continued upside. Overall, athletic two way profile with a developing bat and feel on the mound, offering solid long term upside as strength and consistency continue to improve. Body: 5-10, 135-pounds. Athletic build/frame to add strength in future. Width to shoulders and back. Solid lower. Projects well physically. Delivery: Side rock step with high knee lift to balance. Rhythm to hands and feet. Front foot works out and down slope. Gets into front side. Can create better direction toward target with front hip and heel. Arm Action: RH. Athletic arm path. Maintains 90 degree. Quick arm with hand speed present. FB: T73, 71-73 mph. Good spin rotation with some depth. Pitch will firm. T1900, 1809 average rpm. CB: 58-59 mph. Good speed differential with nice fade action. T2027, 1993 average rpm. CH: 62-64 mph. T1173, 972 average rpm. ATH: 7.41 runner in the 60. Good stride length and overall run form. Can be more directional in arm swing. Speed will increase.
