Hitting
He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect Collyn Hippe to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.
Baserunning & Defense
Hippe isn't a fluid catcher, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. Hippe has one of the strongest arms among catchers. Hippe doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a handful of bases each season without getting caught very often.
2025 Outlook
Hippe isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Collyn to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
